A Novel (Kendra Donovan Mysteries) - A Twist in Time

It was interesting to see how Kendra handled the investigation with out the use of modern forensics. I will be going back and reading the 1 st story of the series and looking for more from this author

LOVED this second book in the series. I totally loved the first book and couldn't wait for the second book. My only complaint? Now I have to WAIT for a third. I highly recommend these books to anyone who wants a great, fast, exciting read.

Skip the Prologue and the first chapter (someone dies. Sam Kelly investigates). Come back to it if you must, but those two chapters took me two weeks to get through. The rest of the book? Three days. The rest of the book has good pacing, is less fun than the previous book, but a solid story and good character development. If you’re looking for a historically-accurate-ish police procedural with regency balls thrown in for fun, this is your book. Does not stand alone.

A Twist in Time has our FBI Investigator turned time traveler on the hunt after another murderer. This time she travels to London because the Duke of Aldridge’s nephew, Alec is a suspect in the murder of his ex-mistress Lady Dover. Kendra, the Duke, Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly and her lover, Alec have two weeks until the House of Lords decides to try Alec. More importantly, his reputation is on the line and in 1815, reputations are more deadly than the stiletto used in this murder.

This series is so much fun because we are watching a prodigy investigator use her mental skills to catch a killer instead of technology. Socially inept at best, Kendra has to (somewhat) play by society’s rules. Her roll as the ward of the Duke of Aldridge will only get her so far. Her best means of finding out the facts seem to be pissing people off enough to make mistakes. The fact that Alec and she are new lovers adds a little personal tension that makes the scintillating details of his past affair, well, fun!

The Kendra Donovan series has quickly become one of my favorites. I do love a great historical mystery and a time travel mystery scores this author some bonus points in my eyes! If you haven’t tried out the first novel, A Murder in Time, and you enjoy this genre, please give it a try. You won’t regret the time spent, I promise! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
