Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that weβre eagerly anticipating.
Today my pick is A Twist in Time, by Julie McElwain, out April 4, 2017 from Pegasus Books.
From Goodreads:
Former FBI agent Kendra Donovanβs attempts to return to the twenty-first century have failed, leaving her stuck at Aldridge Castle in 1815. And her problems have just begun: in London, the Duke of Aldridgeβs nephew AlecβKendraβs confidante and loverβhas come under suspicion for murdering his former mistress, Lady Dover, who was found viciously stabbed with a stiletto, her face carved up in a bizarre and brutal way.
Lady Dover had plenty of secrets, and her past wasnβt quite what sheβd made it out to be. Nor is it entirely in the pastβwhich becomes frighteningly clear when a crime lord emerges from Londonβs seamy underbelly to threaten Alec. Joining forces with Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must navigate the treacherous nineteenth century while she picks through the strands of Lady Doverβs life.
As the noose tightens around Alecβs neck, Kendra will do anything to save him, including following every twist and turn through Londonβs glittering ballrooms, where deception is the normβand any attempt to uncover the truth will get someone killed.
I loved the first book, A Murder in Time. It was such a fun mix of time travel, mystery, and historical fiction. I didn’t know that there was going to be a second book, but as soon as I heard about this, it became a must-read!
What are you waiting on this week?
