“A Murder in Time” by Julie McElwain

Kendra Donovan, a young stand-out agent with the FBI, is working on a task force to bring down two of the most wanted players in an international drug ring. When things don’t go as planned on their raid Kendra decides to take matters into her own hands traveling all the way to England to continue her search. Kendra arrives at Aldrich Castle to take out her target but when she finds herself in a dangerous situation she takes cover in a stairwell. Opening the door she has been hiding behind, Kendra steps into 1815. She first encounters the Duke who mistakes her for a lady’s maid. Convinced she has hit her head or hallucinating Kendra decides to go along with what is being asked of her to hopefully get some questions answered. Soon Kendra’s FBI skills are put to the test when a woman’s body is found on the castle grounds. Without modern day technology Kendra must find a way to solve this mystery while not raising too many questions as to who she really is all while trying to find a way back to her time. The first in a multi-book series starring Donovan, “A Murder in Time” was an absolute page-turner! This CSI meets Outlander tale is the perfect book for a weekend escape. I can’t wait to dig further into this series.
