I have been enjoying this series immensely and this novella (#3.5 in the series) is no exception. The combination of mystery, historical fiction, time travel and the hint of romance meets all my wants for a fun read. This one had Mallory taking the lead in a case and had her meeting up with Charles Dickens. I highly recommend starting with the first in the series “A Rip Through Time“. 4.25/5 stars

robinb I ❤️ this series too! 😊 1d

Mpcacher @robinb They are so much fun. I have the next one (“Death at a Highland Wedding“) waiting for me as well. I am obviously looking forward to it, but have a bunch to read before then. 9h

Another novella with a mini-mystery for Mallory and Gray. Mallory is excited to see Charles Dickens perform. As she and Gray angle for an autograph, they are introduced to the author by Gray‘s ex-lover. Gray‘s ex has a little blackmail problem and Mallory agrees to take the case. There was less tension and danger, but it is always nice to meet historical figures and be reminded that people are the similar no matter the time period. 3/5 ⭐️

A delightful novella in the time travel series, I really enjoyed this one set around Mallory's first Christmas in Victorian Edinburgh and showcasing Duncan's former love, Lady Inglis. Mallory and Duncan are asked to uncover the identity of a blackmailer and recover risqué love letters between Lady Inglis and a friend with benefits. The villain wants a payoff, or the letters will be released to the press. I loved that this storyline was a bit ?

robinb awkward to navigate for Mallory and Duncan personally and that surprisingly Mallory was the one who was adamant about helping Lady Inglis in her difficulties. I also commend the author on something that I think must be very difficult to achieve with a novella...presenting a clear, concise and thorough story that leaves the reader happy and satisfied. I didn't feel rushed or left hanging but simply entertained. Well done! 4.5/5⭐️ 5mo

I love Rebus. This didn‘t disappoint. However I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. But it was okay, it all worked out in the end and I understood it all. Loved the ending. 😊. The last sentence.

Cold as the Grave: Inspector McLean 9 | James Oswald

Reading to a background of Broncos football is one of my favorite things #BringOnFall
This was another good installment in the Inspector McLain series. I enjoy the police- procedural- with-a- smidge- of- the- supernatural aspect of these books.

4th & last stop: a sunny day in #Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (Victoria Street)

The Future Future: great cover, very weird concept and terrible execution. Zero stars. I just flipped through the second half and it got weirder and weirder.
