It's Mallory Atkinson's first Christmas in Scotland. Victorian Scotland, that is. Also, as the twenty-first-century detective learns, Christmas really isn't a thing in Victorian Scotland. It's all about Hogmanay. But her boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, treats her to an early gift of tickets to the event of the season: a Charles Dickens reading. There, they bump into Lady Inglis--the lovely widow who has sent Gray sexy letters trying to entice him back to her bed. Lady Inglis introduces Mallory to Dickens--the meeting of a lifetime--but in return she wants their help. She's being blackmailed. Someone stole letters she wrote to another lover and is threatening to publish them. Mallory isn't sure what to make of Lady Inglis, but no woman deserves that, so she insists on taking the case with or without Gray's help. Growing tension between them soon tells Mallory that Gray is hiding a secret of his own. She has until Hogmanay to uncover the blackmailer...and, hopefully, to put things right with Gray so they can enjoy the holiday together.

I have been enjoying this series immensely and this novella (#3.5 in the series) is no exception. The combination of mystery, historical fiction, time travel and the hint of romance meets all my wants for a fun read. This one had Mallory taking the lead in a case and had her meeting up with Charles Dickens. I highly recommend starting with the first in the series “A Rip Through Time“. 4.25/5 stars

robinb I ❤️ this series too! 😊 7d
Mpcacher @robinb They are so much fun. I have the next one (“Death at a Highland Wedding“) waiting for me as well. I am obviously looking forward to it, but have a bunch to read before then. 6d
robinb @Mpcacher That‘s so funny…I have that one waiting on me as well! 😂 Too many books, so little time. 😔 5d
Mpcacher @robinb So true! 4d

Another novella with a mini-mystery for Mallory and Gray. Mallory is excited to see Charles Dickens perform. As she and Gray angle for an autograph, they are introduced to the author by Gray‘s ex-lover. Gray‘s ex has a little blackmail problem and Mallory agrees to take the case. There was less tension and danger, but it is always nice to meet historical figures and be reminded that people are the similar no matter the time period. 3/5 ⭐️

A delightful novella in the time travel series, I really enjoyed this one set around Mallory's first Christmas in Victorian Edinburgh and showcasing Duncan's former love, Lady Inglis. Mallory and Duncan are asked to uncover the identity of a blackmailer and recover risqué love letters between Lady Inglis and a friend with benefits. The villain wants a payoff, or the letters will be released to the press. I loved that this storyline was a bit ?

robinb awkward to navigate for Mallory and Duncan personally and that surprisingly Mallory was the one who was adamant about helping Lady Inglis in her difficulties. I also commend the author on something that I think must be very difficult to achieve with a novella...presenting a clear, concise and thorough story that leaves the reader happy and satisfied. I didn't feel rushed or left hanging but simply entertained. Well done! 4.5/5⭐️ 5mo
