Echoes in Time

Kendra Donovan

by Julie McElwain

The bizarre murder of one of Queen Charlotte’s ladies-in-waiting is only the beginning…
When FBI-agent-turned-time-traveler Kendra Donovan is asked to investigate the suspicious death of Lady Westford, she finds herself on a harrowing journey through Regency England’s most taboo traditions. Every layer she peels back uncovers more puzzles, including Lady Westford’s interest in a dead woman who’d been mysteriously drained of all her blood. This isn’t the first time Kendra has battled a ruthless madman…but one mistake, one misstep and it may be her last.

I waited more than two years for this one. I miss Kendra, Alec and the duke so much. Time travel with murder mystery. I can't wait for the next one. Not another two years please.

Well well well! What a great way to start the Holiday season. Curling up to a book by Julie Mcelwain. If you haven't picked up the In Time series yet, you're missing out. Echoes, brings us right back to Regency England with familiar faces. While I would have loved a couple of extra chapters, just to see how side characters are doing once the case wraps up, this book made me happy. The witt, the banter, new faces reminded me why the In Time series is a good novel. A great way to spend a couple of hours reading.

Amazing as always

Sigh... I can't believe I've finished this already and have to wait again for the next. My favourite series by far and I can't wait to read them all again.

I adore this series, the characters, the mysteries, the relationships, the writing. It is hands down one of my all time favorites and this book was no different. So glad to have Kendra and the gang back on the page in front of me!

Such a good seriees.

I think each book gets better. I'm glad to see Kendra staying where she's landed. The chemistry between her and Alec almost leaps off the page.

Another adventure.

The saga continued! This book took more of a medical research twist. Hard to figure out the bad guys, several suspects. Enjoy the ride.
