Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. In The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa, translated by Jesse Kirkwood, everyone is a suspect.
What We Say: “Nishizawa’s English-language debut is a wildly inventive fusion of sci-fi and murder mystery. Hisataro, a teen stuck in a time loop, keeps reliving the day his grandfather dies – and starts digging into what really happened. With a big inheritance up for grabs and a bunch of shady relatives, everyone’s a suspect. Think Groundhog Day meets Knives Out, with a clever plot and a snarky lead. It’s smart, fast-paced, and seriously hard to put down.” – Samantha de Haas
What They Say: “A massively entertaining mash up of murder, mystery and teenage time travelling… this is a real page turner.” – Fiona Leitch
