The Shadows of London
The Shadows of London | Nick Jones
5 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
A time travelers work is never done. Likable antiques dealer Joseph Bridgeman is back in the present and dreaming of a quiet life. But when a mysterious and enigmatic time traveler arrives in his shop, Joe learns that his first trip was just the beginning and this time, the rules of the game have changed. Blackmailed into accepting a new mission, Joe is flung back to 1960s London where he comes face-to-face with a ruthless gangster and witnesses the brutal murder of an innocent woman. Joe knows better than most that death can be reversed and the final chapter is sometimes where the story actually begins. Emotionally involved, he has no choice but to act, and quickly. With the help of Vinny, his vinyl-loving sidekick, Joe once again sets out to change the course of history. Sounds simple enough ... but when it comes to time travel, nothing is ever as it seems. Who is the old time traveler working for? And who decides what can and cant be changed? In a thrilling twist, Joe discovers that the victim is critically important to the future, and what starts out as a straightforward mission soon becomes a race to unravel a mysteryone that threatens the very timeline he fought so hard to protect. Joe must dig deeper than ever, master his newfound skills, and save the woman before the past catches up with him for good. Turns out time doesnt heal after all. It just adds salt.

3.75⭐
⬗ The time travel in this low-key reminds me of the OG Quantum Leap. I used to love that show. What kept me from liking this more was the lack of actual time travel and the MC's tendency towards whining. Although, his faithful sidekick Vinny didn‘t disappoint.
⬗ The narration by Ray Porter was amazing. He is quite good.

I am loving this series. Just started the third one and I am totally hooked. Joe is fast becoming a favourite character and I enjoy his ruminations on “other Joe” and the type of man he was. This story has so many opportunities grow into a a much loved series.

What a great find this series was, love when you happen upon a book, not expecting much and fall in love with it. Really enjoyed both books in the series so far about a time traveller, having to go back in time to right a wrong and save his sister. If you enjoy Sci-Fi or time travel books I thoroughly recommend it. I look forward to continuing this series, although it does play with your head 😂

Andrew65 If you are a subscriber to Audible in the UK you can listen to the first two books in the series free, which is how I came across them. 3y

Shock surges through me as vast amounts of information assault my senses, one world swapped for another in a blink.

Started listening to The Shadows of London, the second book in the Joseph Bridgeman Series. Based on the first one, if you enjoy Science Fiction / Time Travel books I thoroughly recommend this series, quite refreshing.
