Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates.
While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place - Aldrich Castle - but in a different time: 1815, to be exact.
Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her twenty-first century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madman
I've already read two reviews on A Murder in Time this month. There were things I agreed with and things I didn't.
Yes, the modern part is a little bit too long and detailed. But still, it was quite interesting. The events that happened with Kendra in past are much more fascinating, sometimes horrifying for me. There were times I doubted Kendra's intellect. I know that she is a child prodigy, but it seems unreal that she knows so many details in different spheres of knowledge (literature, for example).
It was not easy for me to read about the details of the murders, but I understand that they made the story more real. And I am definitely going to read the next book in the series.
