Kelley Armstrong is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I loved the Rockton series and was sad to see it end. But while this fascinating new debut series is entirely different from her previous novels, I'm hooked already!
Mallory is a homicide detective in Vancouver in 2019. While visiting her dying grandmother in Edinburgh, she hears the scream of a woman in distress down a dark alley. She sees a ghostly projection of a woman in Victorian clothing being strangled, and then she herself is being attacked. She wakes up two days later in a different body in another time. Being strangled in the same alley exactly 150 years later opened a rip in time, transporting Mallory into the body of Catriona, a housemaid in the home of undertaker Duncan Grey. As she adjusts to Victorian life, she blames her odd speech and behavior on memory loss from the attack. Dr Grey also serves as unofficial medical examiner and has just taken on a fascinating new case...a strangulation very similar to her own. She can't help but wonder if assisting in the case will help her find her way back home to her own time.
I can't wait to read the next book in this exciting new series!
I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
