6 posts | 6 read | 13 to read
In 1816 London, Kendra Donovan tries to track down a missing man, but also finds trouble brewing closer to home in the fifth book in Julie McElwains riveting time-travel mystery series. When Kendra Donovan is approached by Mrs. Gavenston with an unusual requestto find her business manager, Jeremy Pascoe, who recently vanishedthe FBI agent is eager to accept the challenge. To Kendras way of thinking, spending her time locating a missing person suits her more than perfecting her embroidery, painting watercolors, practicing on the pianoforte, or any of the other activities that are socially acceptable for young ladies in the early nineteenth century. Unfortunately, the missing persons case turns into a murder investigation after Kendra finds the man stabbed to death in a remote cottage that hed been using as a writers retreat. Everyone who knew him says that Pascoe was a fine fellow. So who hated him enough to kill him? Seeking the answer to that question plunges Kendra into the world of big business, as Mrs. Gavenston happens to run one of the largest breweries in England. And if there is one thing Kendra knows hasnt changed, its that big business means big money . . . and money is always a motive for murder. While Kendra works to sift through the truth and lies swirling around Mr. Pascoes lifeand deathher world is rocked closer to home when a woman arrives claiming to be the Duke of Aldridges presumably dead daughter, Charlotte. It is a distraction Kendra cannot afford, not when there is a killer lurking in the shadows who will do anything to keep the truth from being exposed.

4 🌟This is the first book in the series that I struggled to get into. The murder mystery didn‘t really grab me at first. I was most interested in the arrival of Carlotta and her claim to be the Duke‘s presumed-dead daughter.There were parallels between Carlotta and Kendra‘s entries to the Duke‘s household.

Overall, while this entry in the series took its time drawing me in, once it did I was happy to be immersed in Kendra‘s story.

And the last of the Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain - Powered through this entire 5 book series very quickly, loved the characters, their relationship development, the mysteries, and the understated romance. This is a character driven series and each instalment has a strong plot. Loved them all ❤️

Day 4 of #20series20days is a time traveling mystery series. Think Outlander meets Criminal Minds, with a dash of Jane Austen. I‘ve read two of the books so far, and book five was published just last week.
