LibraryCin | Mar 14, 2024 |   Can't wait to read the second book in this series. (  ) Shauna_Morrison | Feb 19, 2024 | However, the pacing of A Murder in Time was way off. Plenty happened during the beginning and ending of the story, but essentially nothing happened for the entire middle of the book. My biggest complaint is Kendra’s insta-love for her companions at the end of the novel, which seemed to come out of nowhere. Nearly every interaction that the readers view throughout the story was regarding the case, so it felt false and unsubstantiated that these people were suddenly her very dear friends. That time travel was easier to believe than the characters’ relationships was a big misstep by the author. I do not intend to continue the series. (  ) dinahmine | Jul 25, 2023 | I really enjoyed this historical mystery mixed with other multitude of other genres and can't wait for the next book in the series. (  ) Lauranthalas | Jul 24, 2023 | The second was the fact that the time travel happens with no reason or explanation. If you can suspend your disbelief to swallow this, then the rest of the book is very enjoyable. It is a murder mystery version of The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court...

HTML: When brilliant FBI agent Kendra Donovan stumbles back in time and finds herself in a 19th century English castle under threat from a vicious serial killer, she scrambles to solve the case before it takes her lifeâ??200 years before she was even born. Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates. While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place - Aldrich Castle - but in a different time: 1815, to be exact. Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a young girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her twenty-first century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madm Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I really liked this. I listened to the audio and except for the present day stuff (I did miss a bunch at the very beginning and had a hard time focusing at the very end when we were back in current day), the entire rest of the book was interesting and appealing to me. I liked that the current-day investigator was unable to rely on many current-day technologies, and (
