Twist in Time
Twist in Time | Julie McElwain
Lady Dover had plenty of secrets, and her past wasn t quite what she d made it out to be. Nor is it entirely in the past which becomes frighteningly clear when a crime lord emerges from London s seamy underbelly to threaten Alec. Joining forces with Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must navigate the treacherous nineteenth century while she picks through the strands of Lady Dover s life As the noose tightens around Alec s neck, Kendra will do anything to save him, including following every twist and turn through London s glittering ballrooms, where deception is the norm and any attempt to uncover the truth will get someone killed.

I loved the first book so much, I carried on and binged the second. Just as fun -I am hooked and have started book 3.

I'm enjoying this time travel slash murder mystery series 👏🏽 Kendra Donovan is a modern day FBI agent and criminal profiler who has found herself back in the 1800s. She doesn't know how/if/when she'll be able to get back to her own time, but for now she helps solve murders as they pop up. My one and only gripe is that each book is a bit longer than is probably necessary.

PS: Book one is A Murder in Time.

robinb @BookNAround I really enjoy this series because it‘s a bit different. Kendra is a wonderful, strong modern heroine who can handle anything 19th century England throws her way. I‘m one book behind (4th came out in July), and I hope there will be more! 🤞🤞 5y

Another #seriesread accomplished! The setting is a gritty view of London as contrasted with the bucolic country estate from the first book. While I kind of figured out whodunnit, this was an interesting story. I‘m also surprised and a little amused that Kendra hasn‘t lost her potty mouth by now! 🤣

I am just so in love with this CSI/Downton Abbey-esque detective series. Kendra Donavan is a badass who cuts through the red tape of sexism and aristocracy in a time before women usually did so. Moving on to the next and last one published!

Second in the series, this was a good mystery, though I did figure it out by the end. I enjoyed the modern woman in the 1800s parts of the story.

If a book has a pretty dress on the cover, involves time travel, and has romance then there is an 90% chance I will love it! This series has all that plus a murder solving heroine! I love the character of Kendra Donavan, an 21st century FBI agent, stuck in 19th century England. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sucked me right in. I love the history, characters, twists, all of it. You should read the first book before this one, it is not a good stand alone. Glad the third does not come out for a couple of weeks. I really have school work and work for my job to do...but I could not stop reading.

I liked the second book - Kendra as an FBI agent going back in time lends itself to humor and a good mystery. The romance fanatic in me wants Kendra and Alec to make their relationship work 😀

Kendra hasn't been able to return to her own time yet, and gets sucked into another murder investigation when Alec falls under suspicion of murdering his former mistress.

An enjoyable read, though I didn't love it. My favorite part of the book is the time travel aspect - as a "foreigner" to the time, Kendra can ask questions and raise issues that the reader may wonder about. It was also a good mystery, leaving me guessing till the end.

Kimberlone I‘ve had the sequel on hold from Overdrive for forever. Can‘t wait to get to it! 6y

Without the shock factor of a modern day FBI agent finding herself suddenly thrust into Regency England, this read a lot more like other historical mysteries featuring an "ahead of her time" female sleuth, only in this case it's literal.

Still a great read full of distinct characters but I'm hoping in the next one there's a little more tension/progress with the "how am I getting back to my own time" plot line which wasn't much in this book.

This is a fun series. A modern day FBI agent somehow ends up in Regency England, and has to solve crimes. The mystery was interesting but the best parts are a modern woman dealing with the restrictions of the time. This would be a fun TV show. Now on to the next book.

I love the concept of this series - Kendra, FBI Agent, falls in a wormhole and time travels to 1800s England. She has to reconcile modern norms with cultural norms of the time, while solving murders. But, K seems to think or act in a condescending manner. And, while she is used to 21st century gender norms (equality, for what it is), she fails to recognize similarities in the 1800s. Regardless, these are fun and I'll continue to follow the series.

As it turns out, I wouldn't be an attractive female in London, 1815. #letterT for #LitsyAtoZ was a sequel about a modern FBI agent who time travels, quite by accident, and solves murders, even though she doesn't have the benefit of modern science and basically everyone she meets is all "but you're a woman!"

Ok, so I'm in the middle of 3 other books I don't have time to read right now, but while I have a pre-workout salad and beer (I know, I know, but it's been a day) I just have to read a few pages of A Twist in Time since I pre-ordered it and it came today. I probably should have glanced through the first book to refresh but today, ain't nobody got time fo dat.

Kendra Donavan is still stuck back in time. Alec, her love interest, is under suspicion of murder of his former lover, Lady Dover. Kendra arrived in London to try and solve the murder before it's too late for Alec.

What a fun, quick read! There were numerous potential killers and I wasn't sure who had done it until the end. If you haven't read her previous novel, A Murder in Time, you should pick it up immediately!

Thanks #NetGalley
