In 1816 London, Kendra Donovan tries to track down a missing man but also finds trouble brewing closer to home in the fifth book in Julie McElwain's riveting time-travel mystery series.

When Kendra Donovan is approached by Mrs. Gavenston with an unusual request - to find her business manager, Jeremy Pascoe, who recently vanished - the FBI agent is eager to accept the challenge. To Kendra's way of thinking, spending her time locating a missing person suits her more than perfecting her embroidery, painting watercolors, practicing on the pianoforte, or any of the other activities that are socially acceptable for young ladies in the early 19th century. Unfortunately, the missing person's case turns into a murder investigation after Kendra finds the man stabbed to death in a remote cottage that he'd been using as a writer's retreat. Everyone who knew him says that Pascoe was a fine fellow. So who hated him enough to kill him?

Seeking the answer to that question plunges Kendra into the world of big business, as Mrs. Gavenston happens to run one of the largest breweries in England. And if there is one thing Kendra knows hasn't changed, it's that big business means big money...and money is always a motive for murder.

I wasn't initially sure how I felt about the tone of the first book until I'd finished it. Now I simply can't get enough of Kendra and each book manages to thrill and delight more than the last. Masterful writing and wonderful narration take me to another time... I see everything and everyone! Can't wait to hear the next episode.

Getting better and better with every book!

If your an Outlander fan, you’ll love these novels. Extremely well written, edited, and read, this last book in the series (?) presents two compelling mystery story lines that sustain the excitement and adventure throughout. The reader is over-the-top great!

Best book of the series

I love the characters in these stories. I love the history she weaves in through the plots. Miss Donovan's trying to understand the way things are in early England when when she comes from the 21st century.
I'm hoping for more stories to come out in the near future.

I have come to love Kendra & Alex and hope there’s going to be more of her adventures. The only thing in the audio that drove me crazy was when the reader paused before every “Kendra Said”, “Carlotta Said”, “Alex Said. “.
