 A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is the first book in her new series. While trying to help someone homicide detective somehow ends up in the 1800's in the body of a maid. Mallory must try to figure out multiple things starting with who tried to kill her (or more accurately Catriona whose body she is inhabiting) before the murder succeeds. The killer is currently killing others and she could be next. As Mallory helps the medical examiner, she must hide who she really is. 

 

This was a good read. I enjoyed the pacing and the conundrum of being a detective from the future who is trying to solve crimes without changing history. The characters were interesting, and the plot was strong. 

 

Four stars for a very enjoyable read. Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Kelley Armstrong for the free copy. This was an honest review.
