A Twist in Time (#760) by Julie McElwain is an FBI procedural mystery with a twist, indeed. Kendra Donovan has the skills to investigate a brutal murder in the heart of London Society. Her problem is that there are almost too many suspects. Oh, and she's still stuck in 1815's Regency period, unable to find a way back through the wormhole that transported her there at Aldridge Castle.in A Murder in Time. (See my post of 8/22/16.).
When the beautiful Lady Dover is murdered and horribly mutilated, London is shocked. Her recent scandalous behavior already had tongues wagging. Lord Sutcliff, the Duke of Aldridge's nephew and heir, seems to fit the bill as the murderer in their gossip. Kendra knows that he is not guilty, but can she find the evidence to prove it? Her life and Alec's will both be on the line if she cannot.
This time-travel novel checks all the right boxes; the murder mystery is challenging, the suspect pool is large, and the customs and mores of both time periods add some piquant touches. Kendra has never had close friends or family in the twenty-first century; might she reconcile herself to them in the nineteenth? I can't wait to read the next installment of this intriguing mystery series.
