Time to Burn: A Compelling Time Travel Mystery Novel
Not yet published
Expected 4 Aug 26From the New York Times bestselling author of The Club comes a gripping mystery about time travel tourism and the dangerous consequences which ensue when the privileged make the past their playground.
Mercurial tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank has perfected commercial time travel, though it is tightly regulated and so expensive that it’s open only to the very wealthiest.
His company, Tempus Tours, has so far been approved for just one a journey back to London in 1941, to the days of the Blitz, allowing the super-rich to experience the awesome sights and sounds of the aerial bombardment of the capital during World War II. It’s a slick operation—routes across the wartime city are meticulously plotted, guides are extensively trained, and rules for the time tourists are strictly enforced.
To immortalize his achievement, Frank enlists award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Inigo, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire property developer and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of their awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing.
Not only that, but Phoebe recognizes the missing woman, and knows not only that she’s not who she claims to be but that she has every reason to harbor a grudge against her. And as events begin to unravel in the present day, it seems increasingly clear that she had sinister motives for returning to the past—and that people close to Phoebe are in danger.
Phoebe must race to untangle the truth—before past and the future are rewritten.
With this inventive, propulsive and genre-bending page turner, the bestselling author of The Club and The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby once again delivers an enthralling tale of legacy and wealth, history and technology with a gripping mystery at its core.

April 22, 2026A time travel tour with some crime thrown in? I was sold! But this book delivered a different experience from what I expected.
Rich genius Inigo Frank owns Tempus Tours and he facilitates time travel to the past for a sum of money. He is milking his legacy by having the magic of it all filmed by a documentary maker Phoebe. However the tour goes horribly wrong, one person, Sasha, is missing when the party returns, later arriving injured, and Phoebe realizes that it affects her personally too.
What I enjoyed:
- The idea was brilliant. Time travel is a tricky concept to write a book on and the way Ellery Llyod presented it was certainly great.
- The novel isn't just about time travel. There are passages that make you think about history, the butterfly effect, changing history that might affect the present, the idea of how billionaires with unlimited money and eccentric ideas might create tech that might damage our world.
What didn't work for me:
- I was expected a fast-paced binge like People like Her. This book is slower and the pacing varies across the book. Now and then the pacing dipped low that I got distracted.
- The characters! I don't mind a novel with a vast character list or a small one, as long as they are distinguishable from one another and established early on in the book. I occasionally got confused between the characters which was a shame because I quickly wanted to know what happens next and to whom. We are already in a time travel book, so I wished we didn't have to focus on placing the characters.
I loved People like Her/The Club, and if you are picking the new book Time to Burn, please remember to go into it unbiased.
Thank you to the publisher for an ARC. All opinions are my own.

I love books about time travel, and I am impressed when someone can add something new to the canon. This book exceeded my expectations! Entertaining and thought provoking, with some gut punch twists that I didn't see coming, Time to Burn is a fabulous literary thriller. Aficianados of time travel books will not be disappointed.
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
If you’ve invented Time Travel, what’s the first thing you do with it? Sell trips to the rich, of course! And hope nothing can go wrong – if possible. Mathematical genius inventor Inigo Frank did exactly that, and made sure that everything was planned out to ensure that nothing could go wrong. Once it was all up and running successfully, he invited Phoebe Hunt, a famous maker of documentaries, to make an in depth film of his company “Tempus Tours” by following one group through the whole process, the location, the apparatus, the detailed briefing the travellers are given and tested on, their sending off with a trained tour guide and their return. But not, of course, the actual trip, because she can’t actually go with them. The party, the guide, a multimillionaire property developer, his posh wife, his idle son and the latter’s Belarusian wife, are transported back to London in 1941, at the hight of the Blitz, to be wined and dined and entertained at the world famous Café Paris, in the hours immediately preceding, as recorded historically, its being destroyed by a bomb. Unfortunately, only four return, one of whom – the son – is seriously injured. Sasha, the son’s wife, has been left behind, either accidentally or deliberately. Someone will have to go back to rescue her, but how will they know where she will be at the point when a rescuer arrives, assuming she doesn’t change anything in the past, or has changed something already, in which case going missing might be the reason she’s gone missing?
These are the sort of temporal problems that are an inevitable corollary to Time Travel, and which have to be addressed in all such stories. The authors here have done a splendid job of exploiting these anomalies, in fact the plot turns on the use (and to some extent misuse) that can be made of them. And what a plot it is; to call it twisted is to understate the case. The book is mainly a ‘murder’ mystery thriller within a wholly realised Scifi background, or vice versa. That’s the thing with Time Travel, maybe I’ll write this review yesterday and reverse that order. I cannot praise this novel enough. I have sometimes found a story so good that I wish I had 6 stars to give it. Here I’m wondering if 7 would be outrageous.
I would like to thank NetGalley, the publishers and the author for providing me with a draft proof copy for the purpose of this review.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Time to Burn is a wonderfully gripping blend of speculative suspense and character‑driven tension, the kind of story that takes a big, high‑concept idea — commercial time travel — and grounds it in very human fear, ambition, and consequence. From the moment Phoebe Hunt steps into Tempus Tours with her camera and her cautious curiosity, the book hums with the sense that something isn’t quite right beneath the glossy tech‑entrepreneur sheen.
The setup is irresistible: a billionaire family returning from a curated trip to the past, meant to be a triumphant moment for Inigo Frank’s empire. Instead, Phoebe captures their arrival in a state of shock — bloodied, terrified, and missing one of their own. It’s a brilliant, unsettling opening, and the tension only deepens when Phoebe recognises the missing woman… and realises she’s not who she claimed to be.
What follows is a clever, steadily escalating mystery that plays beautifully with the ripple‑effect dangers of time travel. The author keeps the focus tight on Phoebe, whose filmmaker’s eye becomes a kind of moral compass as she tries to piece together what happened in the past and what it means for the present. Her personal connection to the missing woman adds an emotional charge that makes every discovery feel sharper, more urgent.
The world‑building is handled with a light touch — enough detail to make the technology feel plausible, but never so much that it overshadows the human stakes. And those stakes rise quickly. As events begin to unravel around Phoebe, the sense of danger creeps closer to home, threatening the people she loves and the life she’s built. The tension is quiet but relentless, the kind that keeps you turning pages because you can feel the ground shifting beneath her feet.
What I loved most is how the story balances its thriller elements with a thoughtful exploration of responsibility — who gets to rewrite history, who pays the price when things go wrong, and how far someone will go to protect the future they care about.
Atmospheric, clever, and compulsively readable, Time to Burn is a fresh, emotionally charged time‑travel thriller that keeps its heart firmly in the present, even as its dangers reach back into the past.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
‘Time to Burn is the writing duo Ellery Lloyd’s latest novel. Like ‘The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby, the authors use of different eras plays a central part in the plot. Extraordinarily, time travel is for sale here. Genius and multi-millionaire, Inigo Frank, owns Tempus Tours and for a huge sum of money he facilitates travel to the past. When a tour to London 1940 at the height of the Blitz goes horribly wrong, journalist Phoebe Hunt who is making a documentary about Frank sees the fallout and recognises that someone from her own past has not returned through the portal. Surely this will ruin Frank’s business.
In a desperate attempt to recover Sasha, the missing woman, the tour guide is given a brief window to to return to find her in 1940. Amazingly, he brings a very badly wounded Sasha home. But why didn’t she return with the rest of her group and what was she doing during her time in war-torn London?
Ellery Lloyd is very successful at helping us to picture London in the Blitz. The sights, sounds and smells of underground shelters, darkened streets, bombs dropping and general chaos is very well depicted. We read of, ‘A musty secondhand clothes smell, with a top note of something sharp and acrid. Smoke and tobacco and dirty shirts and disinfectant.’ Time spent with the 1990s Living Family community is a little less convincing; the usual tropes are relied on. Characters are thinly sketched in the main; the house is stereotypically grubby, porridge is lumpy and vegetable patches make up much of the garden.
‘Time to Burn’ clearly considers the potential for damage when unscrupulous billionaires are able to influence the development and use of technology. After all, we see it writ large in space travel and social media and time travel is just another, currently less plausible, angle. Many readers will enjoy working out how current times in the novel are influenced by past decisions and how the ‘butterfly effect’ causes huge change in the future.
My thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for a copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.

Fancy a trip back in time to the 1940s? Contact Tempus Tours founded by Indigo Frank. Unfortunately on the latest trip five go to London as the blitz rages and burns but only four return. The stranded ‘passenger’ is a Belarusian oligarch’s daughter, Sasha Allen. Oh dear, not just a PR disaster then… Except, it’s even more complicated than that as documentary filmmaker Phoebe Hunt can testify to.
Brilliant. This is an absolutely fascinating cross genre futuristic/sci-fi, murder mystery mixology and mayhem. I think it’s an ingenious, unique, creatively original and gripping read from start to finish. It has me hooked from the start with the fabulous and evocative descriptions of Blitz torn London and then we are whizzed back to the present day for an all action thriller. The pacing is spot on, it’s a tension fuelled, riveting, suspenseful, never a dull moment read. It’s especially clever as it near the conclusion with twist after twist and leading to a very satisfying end. Oh, definitely just desserts there.
This duo are well known for strong characterisation and this one is no exception. They’re all well portrayed with a good array, some to root for, some to despise and some to genuinely like. Sasha, Phoebe and her boyfriend David are the standout characters and I love their strength and ingenuity.
In addition to the many thrills and spills, it explores and asks really good questions, examining the butterfly effect of time travel. Here some of its impact is seen in what happens or changes for certain characters. This is very thought-provoking.
Overall, this is a belter of a read and in my opinion the best Ellery Lloyd has written to date. It’s got best seller vibes for sure
With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Pan Macmillan for the much appreciated early copy in return for an honest review.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Wow, this novel blew me away! It was fully absorbing and intellectually interesting, and I'll be thinking about it for a while. I really enjoyed that there were multiple different timelines and plots all intricately interwoven together to create one cohesive story. The back story was told in a documentary format, which can sometimes feel like an overused plot device, but here it was fresh and interesting because the main character not only made the documentary we were "watching" bits and pieces of but was also in the process of making a documentary about the inventor of time travel tourism, the underlying premise for the book. That in itself was a fascinating concept, and I really liked that the authors touched on the idea of government regulation of time travel. I was also very intrigued by the reason the authors came up with for the Mandela effect, deja vu, and other similar feelings. I'm just really impressed overall and wish I could come up with more good things to say but it's hard to cover the full scope of this one without spoilers! I definitely recommending picking it up when it comes out.
Thank you, NetGalley and Harper, for the ARC!!

What a pleasure this book was! This is my third novel by Ellery Lloyd and “Time to Burn” didn’t disappoint. It’s a brilliantly imagined blend of time travel and crime fiction, wrapped in a fast-paced, intelligent plot that kept me up until early hours. The story feels carefully constructed, with plenty of twists, suspense and ideas to sink your teeth into. At several points, it genuinely had me on the edge of my seat.
The book manages to be entertaining and clever at the same time - the kind of novel that makes you pause and consider the implications of time travel while still racing ahead with momentum and tension. I honestly wished it had been longer!
The only aspect that slightly pulled me out of the story was the use of invented mathematical theories. Out of curiosity, I looked one up and discovered it didn’t actually exist. For me, incorporating real scientific or mathematical concepts would have made the narrative feel even more grounded and convincing. But this is ultimately a fun thriller rather than hard science fiction, and the fictional theories don’t take away too much from the overall enjoyment.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it - an exciting, clever, and highly entertaining read that strikes a great balance between speculative fiction and suspense thriller.

I stayed up to the wee hours of night to read this story and what a story it is. Time travel, history, and mystery. This story had me in awe.
I know that time travel is not real, but this book made me think of the possibilities. The ultra wealthy are the only ones who can afford to go back in the past. A birthday celebration in the present time turns into a hellish excursion into the past in London, 1941 as the city is being bombed during the war. Knowing the facts is the only way to stay safe. One traveler stays behind to change the course of history. This novel explores the after effects of tiny random acts that alter the future in more ways than imaginable.
Realistic characters and a thought-provoking, suspenseful plot made this intelligent read one I could not put down.

Time to Burn by Ellery Lloyd might just be a 5✨ read 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Ellery Lloyd have managed to create a totally immersive time travel story that has had me hooked all weekend.
The story follows documentarian Phoebe, as she gains exclusive behind the scenes access to tech genius Inigo Frank and his company Tempus Tours - a commercial time travel company for the ultra rich.
We have travelers head back to 1941 London to experience the Blitz first hand, and Phoebe’s own past confronts her head on.
I was reminded of 11.22.63 by Stephen King (one of my all time faves and my top book recommends), but it had historical fiction, mystery, thriller vibes and was just such a fun book. The characters had depth, the story was refreshing, the setting so immersive. Oof just YES.

This whole novel was so original and I wasn't sure what to expect but I was hooked from the offset. I'm not sure where it falls between thriller-mystery-time travel but I don't think it really matters because it is just a great story. The plot is tightly packed but paced so well, which seems extra hard to do when dealing with time travel, and although most of the characters are a little unlikeable but by putting Phoebe as our lead guide we are invested from the beginning. I also loved the relevancy over the big theme of how much power money should really buy you and where that power really ends.
Definitely one of the big titles for 2026 and for good reason!

Very enjoyable.
I must admit I did spend a good part of the first fifth of the book wishing us back to the big house, because I love a cult, and it had cult like qualities.
Then I got a grip on myself and tried to wrap my head around the time travel bits, and the repercussions on the future.
It was all cleverly done, and I certainly sat there examining some of my own "memories"
I very much liked Sasha and Phoebe, and how each of them was fighting a good cause.
Plenty of twists, and action.
Very much another solidly good read from this duo.

This ingenious story features a number of interesting themes, from an eccentric billionaire and the true cost of his initiatives to time travel tourism and communal life and it's consequences.
A young film maker is given the opportunity to make a no holds barred documentary about the time travel tours to the World War 2 period. When there is a glitch that ends up with one person left behind under circumstances that seem suspicious, all hell breaks loose...
This is a really original piece of work, and Lloyd delivers a genuinely memorable story. Worth reading.

I have loved all of Lloyd's work and this proves why. Loved this take on time travel. Sci-fi + thriller, absolutely count me in.
The theme and setting are well created. It kept me on my toes trying to find out what was going on. Go in blind and I assure this is going to keep you reading until the last page. I like how the commercialization of time travel is imagined, and can murder and mayhem be far away. The take on the documentary and the past and future where crime is afoot was an interesting take and different from what I have read in the recent years. Recommend!

This was a Booklist assignment, but I wanted to read it anyway, so it was a fortunate coincidence. I absolutely loved it. I love a good time travel story, and the kind that changes the future is my favorite. I loved the twists and turns that went along with the time travel as well as with the murder mystery that took place in the protagonist's past. There were some confusing bits at the end, but they were not enough to get me too lost.

Time travel, spec fic and thrillers... three of my favourite genres combined in one brilliantly constructed book. I read the whole thing in two sittings, and spent the period between them trying to guess what twists were coming and where it was all going. I failed gloriously on both counts.

This was a nice change from what I’ve been reading lately. I liked how the past and present timelines were handled and how they linked together. There were some twists I didn’t see coming, mixed with a few predictable bits, but I still enjoyed it overall.

The core concept of this novel, where time travel is exclusively accessible to the ultra-wealthy, is truly This premise is fascinating and provides a unique and thought-provoking lens through which to consider the question of where we would choose to go if we possessed a functional time machine. It's well-paced, with plenty of twists and turns, and it's a great deal of fun.

The plot had so many twists and turns I couldn’t put the book down
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery or thriller.
