Time Change: A Nina Bannister Mystery

by T'Gracie Reese, Joe Reese

Nina Bannister has solved many mysteries in the little Gulf Coast town of Bay Saint Lucy. But how did Nina’s career begin? What was life like for this retired grande dame of education? Take a trip back in time to 1969 to meet Nina, the first-year teacher, newly married to her young lawyer-husband Frank. What started this English teacher on a life of solving crimes? How did she become the queen of this little artist community on the Gulf of Mexico? It all starts when Nina attempts to intercede for a wayward student, one Penelope Royale, when the young woman’s mother is found dead. Nina and Frank, in an attempt to help the newly-orphaned teenager, start out on a mission that quickly turns very risky and the two young lovebirds find themselves in way over their heads.

[Tracy Drane · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a chore getting through this book. I think it may be because it was the first I read in the series. I don't normally like to start in the middle of a series, but this one was a prequel and I thought it was safe. I think if I had been invested in the characters from previous books, I might have enjoyed it more. About two-thirds of the way through, it did get a bit more interesting, so I'm glad I finished it.

It was great to get the back story of so many of the characters in the other books and to learn more about Frank. The hurricane was very exciting.
