When brilliant FBI agent Kendra Donovan stumbles back in time and finds herself in a 19th century English castle under threat from a vicious serial killer, she scrambles to solve the case before it takes her life??200 years before she was even born.

Beautiful and brilliant, Kendra Donovan is a rising star at the FBI. Yet her path to professional success hits a speed bump during a disastrous raid where half her team is murdered, a mole in the FBI is uncovered and she herself is severely wounded. As soon as she recovers, she goes rogue and travels to England to assassinate the man responsible for the deaths of her teammates.

While fleeing from an unexpected assassin herself, Kendra escapes into a stairwell that promises sanctuary but when she stumbles out again, she is in the same place - Aldrich Castle - but in a different time: 1815, to be exact.

Mistaken for a lady's maid hired to help with weekend guests, Kendra is forced to quickly adapt to the time period until she can figure out how she got there; and, more importantly, how to get back home. However, after the body of a young girl is found on the extensive grounds of the county estate, she starts to feel there's some purpose to her bizarre circumstances. Stripped of her twenty-first century tools, Kendra must use her wits alone in order to unmask a cunning madm

Kendra is a profiler with the FBI. She is injured in a shoot out that involved one of her own as a traitor; someone else died. (I missed a bunch of activity, then) suddenly she wakes up in the early 19th century where a teenage girl is found murdered. For the brief time Kendra has been here, she’s been pretending to be a servant. She can tell right away this murder is the work of a serial killer and he will kill again, but how does she convince the aristocracy to believe her so she can help find the killer? They mostly tended not to think women were terribly smart at the time, and how could she know some of the things she knows?

I really liked this. I listened to the audio and except for the present day stuff (I did miss a bunch at the very beginning and had a hard time focusing at the very end when we were back in current day), the entire rest of the book was interesting and appealing to me. I liked that the current-day investigator was unable to rely on many current-day technologies, and ( )

This book reminds me of A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong 9i would have been able to say that in the opposite direction had i read this book first). I love that this book has a strong female character thrown into a time where women aren't strong or necessarily smart and she manages to make people see her worth.

Can't wait to read the second book in this series. ( )

I have a love/hate relationship with A Murder in Time, so it earns a solid 3-stars. I enjoyed the overall story and I really liked when Kendra took charge of her ‘destiny’ in the beginning of the novel.

However, the pacing of A Murder in Time was way off. Plenty happened during the beginning and ending of the story, but essentially nothing happened for the entire middle of the book. My biggest complaint is Kendra’s insta-love for her companions at the end of the novel, which seemed to come out of nowhere. Nearly every interaction that the readers view throughout the story was regarding the case, so it felt false and unsubstantiated that these people were suddenly her very dear friends. That time travel was easier to believe than the characters’ relationships was a big misstep by the author. I do not intend to continue the series. ( )

Kendra is an FBI agent who ends up back to the time of 1815. Confused for a lady's maid, Kendra must adapt to the time period to survive while trying to find a way back to home. A prostitute is murdered and Kendra forces herself into the investigation at the Duke's home. As more murders take place, Kendra and company race against the clock to solve the mystery.

I really enjoyed this historical mystery mixed with other multitude of other genres and can't wait for the next book in the series. ( )

I found the hunt for the serial killer in 1815 very well done & it was fun watching how Kendra coped with the lack of technology. However, there were two main things that bugged me. The first, relatively minor but repeated many times in the book, was the use of "Duke" as a name (nickname?) for the Duke of Aldridge by his nephew and a few other characters. I have a strong feeling that it would be much more likely for these people to call him "Aldridge" or perhaps even his Christian name...

The second was the fact that the time travel happens with no reason or explanation. If you can suspend your disbelief to swallow this, then the rest of the book is very enjoyable. It is a murder mystery version of The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court... ( )
