About this listen

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 wasn’t sure I’d like this book, but I have to say I was proved wrong. The premise of time travel seemed like a subject that could go terribly wrong. Instead the combination of an intriguing story, a great reader and characters that seemed real was brilliant. At times I was tempted to go and google if any of the characters existed!
Thoroughly enjoyed this and am going straight on to the next book in the series.

I think the story could be great if I read the book rather than listened to it.
I really struggled with the narrators accent and attempt at the Scottish accent. it all sounded a bit light and teeny - better suited to a more light hearted or comedic story.
It doesn't really help to paint the picture of the damp streets of Scotland in the 1800s. I kept losing track and it didn't get me gripped.
I would like to read the book in physical format, but unfortunately the narration just isn't right.

The Authors voice didn't suit the title.
