An enjoyable read that could have pushed the envelope further given the genre. Interested to read the other books to see how it builds

Story was a little flat and just wasn't vibing it

Mixing the genres of noir detective with time travel results in a delicious blend of ingredients. This was a fun quick read.

If you have not yet read the In Times Like These series go read that first as this is a sequel series. I am a huge fan of this series and I am thrilled to see another one coming soon! The first book took quite a while to get moving but once it did wow was it fun. As soon as Electric Midnight is available for pre order I will be putting mine in and devouring the book as soon as its available. If you like time travel books then you want to pick this series up. You will thank yourself for doing so. Everyone I have talked into reading this has like me had a hard time with the first half of the first book, but once they got through that were riveted through the rest of the series.

Nathan Van Coops has done it again!
Time Travel and Detective Mysteries are my two favorite genres; it was a treat to see them both rolled up into one book.
I enjoyed the classic detective vibe set in ‘modern’ times. The intrigue and humor kept me riveted and eager to find out more. I did not see the plot twist coming at the end and it most definitely did not disappoint.
Looking forward to more adventures with the time traveling P.I., Greyson Travers.
UPDATE re: Audible version
Other than voice alterations to indicate character changes, the narration was a bit monotone. It may be because I had already read the book and I had preconceived notions as to the tone that I imagined should be taken, but there seemed to be no change when expressing anger, surprise, questions, etc..

Van Coops no decepciona. Habiendo agotado las aventuras de viaje en el tiempo en la serie "In Time Like These", el autor regresa al mismo universo, pero ahora usando esa premisa para contarnos una aventura de detectives. Se da el tiempo de estructurar bien tanto el misterio como los detalles del viaje en el tiempo, y combinarlos de manera ingeniosa. Aunque se nota que Van Coops no es un escritor de misterio, eso no le resta a la aventura, ya que antes nos ha demostrado que puede complicar bastante sus tramas para no hacerlas predecibles, algo esencial en este tipo de lecturas.
El único detalle es que el autor considera que el lector ya conoce los detalles de su universo y cómo funciona el viaje en el tiempo, es decir, que necesitas haber leído la serie "In Time Like These", por lo menos el primer libro.
De ahí en fuera, es un libro super recomendable para los fans de los detectives y de "Volver al Futuro". Nadie como Van Coops para escribir aventuras que recuerden al clásico del cine.
Espero con mucho gusto que las aventuras de Greyson Travers continuen.

Grey is pretty confident he can solve any case that comes his way. He has a secret weapon, he can travel in time and find out exactly what happened. However the latest case is proving a lot more difficult and he's running out of time to find out why.
This was a good start to a new series though I feel like he could have used the time travelling element to solve the mystery a bit more easily than this. I loved Grey's slightly sarcastic AI companion and some of the gadgets sound super cool. I thought the narrator was pretty good too.
