For modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson, being trapped in the body of a Victorian housemaid means overcoming endless obstacles. Her current challenge is winning over the suspicious young parlormaid, Alice. Mallory’s plan starts with teaching the girl to make Molotov cocktails, which is a perfectly valid science experiment and not at all a desperate ploy to gain Alice’s attention. Before the lesson can begin, though, Alice receives a letter that has her slipping off in the night. Concerned for her safety—and naturally curious—Mallory follows.
Mallory finds Alice at what seems like a simple dance hall, watching young men and women flirting and whirling in pretty dresses and dapper suit-coats. But nothing here is what is seems, and what starts as a simple surveillance exercise turns into a full-scale spy mission with Mallory’s boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, at her side. Before the evening is done, those Molotov cocktails are probably going to come in handy.
Note this is not a full-length novel. It's a novella set between The Poisoner's Ring and Disturbing the Dead

A Rip Through Time series, book 2.5. Historical mystery novella, paranormal time shift. Best read in series order.
Detective Mallory Atkinson, in a bizarre twist of fate, has traveled back to the Victorian timeframe, and into the household of Dr Duncan Gray. For practical purposes, she acts as a housemaid since that’s whose life she’s taken over. Mallory’s detective nature helps resolve a potential kidnapping where her modern day knowledge of the Molotov cocktail may come in more handy than expected.
Intriguing mystery for the sadly age-old trafficking situation where Mallory acts true to her nature with modern day problem solving. Entertaining and a wonderful short story adding to the series, giving more depth and background to household servant Alice. Delightful inclusion of Mallory’s sometimes awkward physical expectations twisted with her historical and cumbersome reality of dress, corsets and more.
🎧 I listened to the audiobook of this novella narrated by Kate Hanford on a second read. The performance is fantastic with specific voices for all the main characters. Emotions come through clearly as Mallory follows young Alice and ends up getting kidnapped herself. Those crazy historians and their chloroform as she says over and over again. A bit of humor, a bit of mystery. A fully engaging listen

One of my favorite things about Kelley Armstrong is the way she just keeps gifting us with these awesome novellas. And seeing as I listened to the first two books in this series (and really enjoyed the narrator), I was hoping the novella would come out in that format soon.
What a fun little adventure! This was a quick story with a breakneck pace. The action starts on page one, and it really didn't stop. There were also some great little character moments, and I really enjoyed seeing another side of Alice and her backstory.
I'm so glad I got to read this right in time before I got my copy of the third book. This series is such a fun blend of historical fiction, mystery, and adventure, and I can't get enough.
such a great addition to the series
