Hello, I'm writing for school a review about your book but I alsow ould like to have some information about the author, which is you of course. So my questions are: where did you get your inspiration from and how did you come up with all those different characters/personalities? Greetings (of a big fan) Fey

Stuart Turton Hey there - I've wanted to write an Agatha Christie-style novel since I was eight. I'm thirty eight now, so it's taken a while. I needed a clever twist on the formula to make it interesting, so I came up with adding the Groundhog Day style loop. As for the personalities, they were people I saw in my daily life. I studied peoples' expressions, their gaits, and the way they spoke, then put them into the novel.

Jenny Sparrow asked Stuart Turton:

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for the book, I'm not easily impressed, but it was excellent and has all that I dearly love in books: time travel, mystic atmosphere and a really complex detective story. I loved it! I will be very much looking forward to reading your next book. I was wondering what time does the real Aiden live in? I was hoping for a glimpse of that world but it never came...
