A Rip Through Time

I just finished reading A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong
Mallory is a detective in Vancouver but travels to Scotland to be with her dying nan...
One night while jogging, she is attacked by an assailant... she wakes up in a bed not her own nor in a hospital and not even in her own time or body.
The body belongs to Catriona, a maid and like Mallory, someone had tried to kill her too. Can she figure out who tried to kill Catriona without anyone figuring out she isn't who she says she is? Can she make it back to her time and back in her body to catch the person who tried to kill her?
This book started a little slow. I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it but I need not worry. It really found its feet by chapter 4 and I couldn't put the book down.
Mallory is my kind of woman! Adaptable and strong... her boss, or Catriona's boss Duncan, a doctor and undertaker, who consults for the police, really complicated her character. He was a gentleman with a little edge and didn't take liberties with his staff. He lives with his widowed sister, Isla and she really was a woman ahead of her time. The only person Mallory confides in and she uses logic and skilled reasoning when she learns the truth.
Watching everyone come together to try and solves murders in a time when forensic science was barely emerging was exciting.
I didn't dig the ending, I would have liked a little more but I found out this is a series debut and I did the happiest of jigs! I'm excited to see what happens next!
If you love a thrilling historical fiction that will have you gripped then this is the book for you! Due out end of May!
4.5 stars
