Publisher's summary

In this series debut from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, a modern-day homicide detective finds herself in Victorian Scotland—in an unfamiliar body—with a killer on the loose.

"A great read."—Charlaine Harris

May 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She’s drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness.

May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Thomson had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she’d been strangled and left for dead . . . exactly one-hundred-and-fifty years before Mallory was strangled in the same spot.

When Mallory wakes up in Catriona's body in 1869, she must put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality: life as a housemaid to an undertaker in Victorian Scotland. She soon discovers that her boss, Dr. Gray, also moonlights as a medical examiner and has just taken on an intriguing case, the strangulation of a young man, similar to the attack on herself. Her only hope is that catching the murderer can lead her back to her modern life . . . before it's too late.

In A Rip Through Time, New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong introduces a brand-new series mixing mystery, romance, and fantasy with thrilling results.

I would have made it 10/10

Kelley Armstrong has been one of my favorite authors ever since "Otherworld". All of her stories will not disappoint,
but "A Rip Through Time" has jumped up to a new category. I am so happy with time-slipping to Scotland, 1869.
What a story-WOW!!! The characters and settings are now etched in my mind as the action played out. I will not send out spoilers --To spoil your read. Pun intended. BUT truthfully you will not be disappointed with this new book.
Narrator Kate Handford is amazing and perfect for the characters she portrayed. Applause.

To Kelley Armstrong- PLEASE----I WANT MORE.

A pleasant surprise!!

I'm a huge Outlander fan. So, I'm constantly looking to fill the void with time travel and Scottish period piece books!!! This was such a pleasant surprise. I've read a few of her other books. I cannot wait to get the next installment. I'm going to tell everybody about this one!!

Next book please.

The book was overall amazing. Love how the narrator switches her accent between internal thoughts and her verbal words. They’re some funny moments too.
I want to know what’s next.

Exceeds expectations

Exactly what it says on the cover. Good fun if you want historical fiction, police procedural, and a strong female protagonist. Unlike a lot of “fun” fiction, the female protagonist’s interactions with other characters might actually pass the Bechdel test.
