Are you really comparing Robert Heinlein to Stephanie Meyer?!?

I suspect he's saying that reviewers cannot be believed, unless you yourself happen to also be a fan of the book / author / series in question.

Or. . . He is saying that Heinlein never actually died, and that "Stephanie Meyer" is the cleverest Literary scam in History!

The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton is $2.99 on Amazon.com
"Agatha Christie meets Groundhog Day"

Aiden Bishop knows the rules. Evelyn Hardcastle will die every day until he can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest at Blackheath Manor. And some of his hosts are more helpful than others. With a locked room mystery that Agatha Christie would envy, Stuart Turton unfurls a breakneck novel of intrigue and suspense.

For fans of Claire North, and Kate Atkinson, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a breathlessly addictive mystery that follows one man's race against time to find a killer, with an astonishing time-turning twist that means nothing and no one are quite what they seem.

Both of my local OverDrive libraries have it as well, so if you don't have KU and aren't sure about buying, loan is also an option.

The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz is $2.99 on Amazon.com

1992: After a confrontation at a riot grrl concert, seventeen-year-old Beth finds herself in a car with her friend's abusive boyfriend dead in the backseat, agreeing to help her friends hide the body. This murder sets Beth and her friends on a path of escalating violence and vengeance as they realize many other young women in the world need protecting too.

2022: Determined to use time travel to create a safer future, Tess has dedicated her life to visiting key moments in history and fighting for change. But rewriting the timeline isn’t as simple as editing one person or event. And just when Tess believes she's found a way to make an edit that actually sticks, she encounters a group of dangerous travelers bent on stopping her at any cost.

Tess and Beth’s lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline--a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future. Against the vast and intricate forces of history and humanity, is it possible for a single person’s actions to echo throughout the timeline?

Foundation by Isaac Asimov is $2.99 at Amazon US.

Don't care for the boring new cover though. Looking at it makes me think of the Led Zeppelin boxed set:

The story of our future begins with the Foundation.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. Only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humanity, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls this sanctuary the Foundation.

But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. And mankind’s last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and live as slaves—or take a stand for freedom and risk total destruction.

Thank you for that one. I will reread Foundation in order to be prepared to the upcoming film from Apple.
I have the Foundation books as pbooks, but the letters are too small, so I bought the Kindle book.
