Book Review: A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong

A Rip Through Time
by Kelley Armstrong (Armstrong)

A woman jogging alone at night in Scotland has a near-death experience via strangling... only to wake up 150 years in the past in a body that is not her own. Detective Mallory Atkinson must solve her own assault to stop a would-be Jack the Ripper while also trying to find her way back to her own time.

 

Excellent story, the pace is fast, the drama from the body's previous tenet just enough to add spice and the characters are well-developed. Check this book out if time traveling detectives who are trying to fit into Victorian England are interesting to you!

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner, The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan or A Stitch in Time by Kelley Armstrong.)
