About this listen

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 21st century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madman.

Amazing

I adored this novel. It was witty and clever and full of women power. I loved the mystery and drama and the marvellous twist between the 21st century and the 19th century. I loved that the heroine was funny and clever and strong. I would definitely read this again. It is a bit gory but good. I also loved the last line. “It’s just a matter of time”. I would love to read a sequel

Audio Book: Great Story, Terrible Narration

Slow in the beginning, but picks up and hits all the marks for a crime, procedural fan like myself. The Narration was a let down though

Combination of my favourite things

I love this book, as well as the whole series. It combines my favourite topics, love, time travel/history and mystery. The book takes so many great turns and twists it leaves me wanting more. #Audible1

Totally not as expected

The accents used by the narrator were really hard to take. And in fact, I did not finish the book. I just could not do it The book was very slow, I had to check that I had read the story description correctly. The book was free. I’m glad I did not pay for it.

Narrator

Narrator’s style is extremely annoying. It is distracting and made it difficult to get into the story.
