Time changes everything, even history.

After disappearing amidst a spray of bullets, antiques dealer Sarah Lester leaves behind no body, only questions. Sarah’s friends are left dealing with the aftermath of her disappearance, including an investigation into the provenance of her antiques, which threatens to crush The Old Curiosity Shop.

As Sarah struggles to reunite with her father, she continues the search for her mother, unaware the violent colonial past has followed her home, putting herself, and those she loves in danger.

From the remote shores of New Zealand, through India’s hill country stations and onto the streets of Victorian London, Sarah must decide whether family bonds are strong enough to stretch through time.

I love this series so far! I almost didn't read this due to a bad review of another person... I'm so glad I decided for myself instead of going off another person's opinion!

Great

so in a series of three it always seems that the number two book is merely a transition, and this seems to be the same for this series. Although a lot happens in this book, there is no resolution to any storyline. Also, we keep getting more and more storylines that make the book somewhat convoluted. But I suppose that the book reflects life, every character has a unique story.
So while this one is not my favorite, the first book was absolutely charming and very engaging, Which gives me hope for the third and final book in the series.

I really enjoyed the story but there were several parts where the taping was garbled and could not be understood.

Loved the story-problem with recording

This was not as good as the first book, it jumped around to much.

good story

I like the concept of time travel through the postcards and returning in a blonk of an eye. A well written book with lots of excitement.

Enjoyed the listen very much

Enjoyed reading the first book and this book and looking forward to reading third book.

Intriguing and heartfelt

Literally, a repeat of the last book which had a good storyline & I was anxious to read of continued adventures. This book is mostly a retelling from an ever so slight & not always new perspective. Sane characters & same situations. Few additional characters. It's most disappointing, like the previous book in the series it has no ending. Really, the last scene has a beginning but no middle or end. This author has only one story that repeats in each book & is not creative enough to imagine how to end a book while enticing the reader to read another in the series. I'm done! I won't read another by this author.

Waste of time and money

the first book was fun but the second tried to tell too many stories and they did not all matter to the protagonist. just distracting and at times regions. I wanted to love it as the main story line was original but it is EXHUASTING following all the bunny trails. edit all three down into one focused book and give it a good climax and resolution and I would get to the end. haven't enough stamina to stick it out.

too many storylines

1k mini stories and 4 strings to tie all together. hated it. awful execution.

waste of a credit

Jumped around so much I had trouble following the story. First book was better. I don’t think I’ll waste time on the next one on the series.

Hard to follow
