Short Story

Was good enough to purchase the second book. Was not sure about the narrator at first. Overall much better than I expected.

Great time travel story

Great story, great narration. The story is set in the “In Times Like These” universe which is one of the best time travel series I’ve ever read. This is a spin-off detective story and hopefully the first of many Greyson Travers stories.

Well thought out time travel whodunit!

Engaging characters. Didn't get bogged down with unnecessary "mechanics" so the story kept a lively pace.

Another fantastic time travel story from Mr Coops

His "anchor" theory is the most ingenious theory of how to be able to time travel and not end up in space somewhere!!!
The absolute greatest author of time travel novels EVER!!!

Fun time travel detective story.

I really enjoyed this book. It ties into the In times like these time book series, yet works as a standalone. Good characters, some twists and has some decent humor. Only downside might be the length at only 4 hours. I would have loved to have more time in this book. I am hoping there will be a series of these detective stories in the future.

More excellent work from Van Coops!

Nathan Van Coops does it again. While I’m itching for another story about Benjamin Travers, getting a story about one version of his son, Greyson is pretty satisfying.

I’ll be honest, I’m not really a big fan of detective stories anymore. But, I do enjoy Science-Fantasy. So I was not really sure where I was going to fall on this one beforehand. Greyson Travers and his AI Sidekick, Waldo, traveling back and forth in time to solve cases for Travers Private Investigations business, might just be what was missing. I was hooked from the beginning.

I want this to be a spoiler free review, and the book is not very long, so I canI say too much without giving things away. I thought I had figured out who did what, where, and how pretty early, but I was wrong.

Nathan Van Coops is talented in a way I don’t usually see from writers. Every single book seems to fit in a different genre. Mystery, Action/Adventure with Zombies, Race against Time, Historical, the Afterlife(?), Alternate History, and now Detective. I’m impressed with each book, and I’d really love to see the series bible that he uses to maintain the timelines. I absolutely look forward to getting more Greyson stories.

And since I listen almost exclusively to the audiobooks, I also review the narrators. If the reading is bad, I’ll never make it through. Stacy Carolan’s presentation is probably in my top 10 of audiobooks. He doesn’t hiss or whistle when he speaks the letter “S.” He doesn’t do annoying voices. And he sounds like he’s Greyson himself, and not just someone reading the story. Neil Hellegers was perfect as Benjamin Travers throughout the *In Times Like These* series, and Carolan just slides right in to voice Greyson. He really does sound like he could be his grown up son. Maybe that sounds weird, but it really does enhance the story.

All in all, I am very pleased with this book. If you like Time Travel, Detectives, AI, or Whodunits, then you need to pick this up. I was given a code by the author for a free book in exchange for a review, but that did not effect my rating.

Love this time travel thriller

I love the call backs to Nathan Van Coops characters from In Times Like These! I am hoping for this book to turn into a series as well! The development of characters in this thriller is top of the line. If you love mysteries and time travel this is for you!

Fantastic and so so fun.

This is my second audible book and I am so glad I listened to this story. Stacy’s narration was superb. The story had so many great surprises and clever details that I was amazed. I was transported so easily into the story that it was hard to stop listening when I had to go do other things. I am eagerly waiting for the next book in the series. I would recommend this to anyone who likes PI stories or time travel.

another excellent story by Nathan Van Coops

mysteries, time travel, murders, death and mayhem abound in this book. come help a time traveler unravel a murder that did or didn't take place. only the timeline will tell.

Good and bad..

Okay! I found this a little confusing at times but I still enjoyed it. I can't even tell you what it was about but it was about time travel. So, I would recommend it to people who like time travel.

I liked Greyson Travers but I really liked his AI Waldo.

There was no romance and the F-bomb was used 6 times.

As for the narration: Stacy Carolan was just okay for me. He did a good job with the voices but he read without emotions. He never laughed or yelled or whispered or sounded grumpy, nothing except his own voice, and that's disappointing.
