For modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson, being trapped in the body of Victorian housemaid means overcoming endless obstacles. Her current challenge is winning over the suspicious young parlormaid, Alice. Mallorys plan starts with teaching the girl to make Molotov cocktails, which is a perfectly valid science experiment and not at all a desperate ploy to gain Alices attention. Before the lesson can begin, though, Alice receives a letter that has her slipping off in the night. Concerned for her safetyand naturally curiousMallory follows. Mallory finds Alice at what seems like a simple dance hall, watching young men and women flirting and whirling in pretty dresses and dapper suit-coats. But nothing here is what is seems, and what starts as a simple surveillance exercise turns into a full-scale spy mission with Mallorys boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, at her side. Before the evening is done, those Molotov cocktails are probably going to come in handy. Note this is not a full-length novel. It's a novella set after The Poisoner's Ring.

This novella is #2.5 in the 'Ripe Through Time' series. The premise of the series is that Mallory, a homicide detective from the 21st century, has time travelled to 1869 Scotland, into another woman's body. I have thoroughly enjoyed these books and this one only added to the fun. It features the 12 year old housemaid Alice where an attempt to help out her older sister gets her and Mallory in a bit of a jam. 4/5 stars!

This was a novella in the A Rip Through Time series, and even considering the time constraints imposed on a novella, it was a good one. It revolves around human trafficking, and Mallory, a time traveler stuck in 1869 Scotland, finds herself kidnapped while trying to attempt a rescue. I am really enjoying this series more and more as it develops. The heart of the series is, of course, Mallory, who is a strong, independent woman from 2019, but 🔻

robinb supporting cast is stellar themselves. There‘s humor, adventure, danger, and a hint of romance. I did feel the series started a little slow but it has really ramped up and gained momentum. Looking forward to much more. 4.25/5⭐️ #coverlove 🩵 And what a title! ❤️😂 (edited) 11mo
