'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about. I love doing this, letting the 'word' spread about authors and series that I enjoy. Hope you'll stop by often and see what I'm 'waiting' on!
I'm sharing a book this week that will be the 4th in the 'Rip Through Time' series that's written by prolific author Kelley Armstrong. I have loved many books by Kelley, especially her Rockton and Haven's Rock series. I have not, as yet, read any of her 'Rip Through Time' books. I do own them all though and plan to try them this year. I have heard so many good things about the series from other book friends. Definitely looking forward to trying these books that take a homicide detective from the present day back in time where she at first is a housemaid and then is able to share her knowledge of crime solving as the series progresses. Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
Death At A Highland Wedding
Publication Date: May 20th
Death at a Highland Wedding is the fourth installment in New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong's gripping Rip Through Time Novels.
After slipping 150 years into the past, modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson has embraced her new life in Victorian Scotland as housemaid Catriona Mitchel. Although it isn’t what she expected, she's developed real, meaningful relationships with the people around her and has come to love her role as assistant to undertaker Dr. Duncan Gray and Detective Hugh McCreadie.
Mallory, Gray, and McCreadie are on their way to the Scottish Highlands for McCreadie's younger sister's wedding. The McCreadies and the groom’s family, the Cranstons, have a complicated history which has made the weekend quite uncomfortable. But the Cranston estate is beautiful so Gray and Mallory decide to escape the stifling company and set off to explore the castle and surrounding wilderness. They discover that the groom, Archie Cranston, a slightly pompous and prickly man, has set up deadly traps in the woods for the endangered Scottish wildcats, and they soon come across a cat who's been caught and severely injured. Oddly, Mallory notices the cat's injuries don't match up with the intricacies of the trap. These strange irregularities, combined with the secretive and erratic behavior of the groom, put Mallory and Duncan on edge. And then when one of the guests is murdered, they must work fast to uncover the murderer before another life is lost.
New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong’s unique time travel mystery series continues to entertain as Mallory adjusts to life in the 1870s.
Kay, I'm so glad to see you posting regularly again. And I will share this post about the series with a friend who has been interested in reading time travel books. She also likes mysteries so this might be a good fit for her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Deb! Yes, your friend might like this series.
DeleteI have only read the first book in this series, and I enjoyed it very much. I will be reading the second one for sure, but I think it is a Kindle version, so it is harder for me to remember. I am glad to see that the series is continuing.
ReplyDeleteTracy, glad you have read and enjoyed the first book. I'm excited to start reading these because this new one is #4. Always fun to have a new series.
DeleteAhh, I love time travel!
ReplyDeleteAngela, it does present some interesting plot angles, doesn't it?
DeleteI've only read the first book in this series, but I need to get cracking on the others. She's a favorite author of mine, too. :D
ReplyDeleteI've only read a few of Armstrong's Casey Duncan series but I love them and am looking forward to reading more from her. I'm not a big time travel fan but I do want to try this series.
