""A great read." -Charlaine Harris In this series debut from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong, a modern-day homicide detective finds herself in Victorian Scotland-in an unfamiliar body-with a killer on the loose. May 20, 2019: Homicide detective Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She's drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness. May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Thomson had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she'd been strangled and left for dead . . . exactly one-hundred-and-fifty years before Mallory was strangled in the same spot. When Mallory wakes up in Catriona's body in 1869, she must put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality: life as a housemaid to an undertaker in Victorian Scotland. She soon discovers that her boss, Dr. Gray, also moonlights as a medical examiner and has just taken on an intriguing case, the strangulation of a young man, similar to the attack on herself. Her only hope is that catching the murderer can lead her back to her modern life . . . before it's too late. Outlander meets The Alienist in Kelley Armstrong's A Rip Through Time, the first book in this utterly compelling series, mixing romance, mystery, and fantasy with thrilling results"--… (mais)

(2022) A Vancouver detective, while in Scotland visiting her ailing grandmother, is attacked in Glasgow. As she is attacked, she is transported back to 1869 in the body of a young house maid. She is being cared for by her employers, a undertaker and his sister. She becomes quickly aware of her surroundings and tries to adapt to the situation while trying to solve the mystery of the transportation and of the attack on her. It leads her to the conclusion that the attacker has also been transported back with her in the body of a police officer. She manages to track the killer down and eventually kill him as he has kidnapped the sister and undertaker. She later decides to stay in her new time, but aware that she can go back to normal times only with the death of the woman whose body she now occupies. Pretty good yarn and fun to read.KIRKUS: A Vancouver police detective visiting Edinburgh is magically transported back to 1869, where she gets involved in a murder case in which her avatar is deeply implicated.One moment Detective Mallory Atkinson is getting throttled by an identifiable man; the next she's awakening as Catriona Mitchell, who's been similarly strangled and left for dead in the same spot. The second attack turns out to be useful for Mallory, who uses Catriona's trauma as an excuse for forgetting lots of things she ought to know as housemaid to undertaker Duncan Gray, whose medical degree sharpens his interest in the death of Evening Courant crime reporter Archie Evans, a victim of what only Mallory recognizes as waterboarding. What did Archie know that someone wanted to torture out of him? Partnering alternately with Edinburgh Detective Hugh McCreadle; her employer; and Gray's half sister, shrewd herbalist Isla Ballantyne, Mallory peers into Edinburgh's seamy underside as she struggles to uncover the truth. It's a tough job because the most dramatic discoveries she makes are that the woman whose body she's inhabiting is a bully and a thief and maybe worse and that Evans' killer, who goes on to stage another murder that uncannily foretells the work of Jack the Ripper, may well be another visitor from the 21st century. Armstrong handles the time-traveling problems concerning Mallory's disjointed consciousness and other characters' awareness that she's not your typical housemaid with unusual resourcefulness and dexterity. Although the heroine is desperate to return to her own time and place by hook or by crook, the fade-out presents a future that's pleasingly ambiguous.The murders are the least mysterious aspect of this clever time-traveling thriller.Pub Date: May 31, 2022ISBN: 978-1-2508-2000-6Page Count: 352Publisher: Minotaur

4.5 stars

This was a fast and fun time-travel mystery. The writing was surprisingly well-done, with the exception of the plethora of profanity, including God's name grossly misused. Not only did it detract from the story, but it was just so repetitive! This would have been a 5-star read without the profanity.

Note: There are a few mild sexual references.

I started listening to this audiobook yesterday only because I was iffy if I'd like it, despite being a big fan Of Kelley Armstrong. I am definitely liking this book so far and recommend it. Below I put the synopsis of the book from goodreads. In my opinion if you ever enjoyed watching Quantum Leap imagine that with a murder mystery mixed in, it's just perfect.

Mallory is a detective from 2019 that somehow travels back to 1869 in a body and life of which is not her own. The mystery that unfolds and Mallory helps try to solve to not only a murder, her attempted murder and trying to find a way back home; all while trying to fit in an Era 150 years before her time.
Kelley Armstrong does not disappoint with an awesome story line, a great set of characters and an amazing world . 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend to anyone that loves time travel, thrillers and the amazing Kelley Armstrong, this is an awesome read!! Love it. ( )

An interesting take on time travel. There are "smile" points when the main character slips back to using today's words and has to tumble herself to the correct word for the correct time. A mystery that has you on the edge of your seat. ( )

A Rip Through Time is the first book in this series and I quite enjoyed it. Perhaps because there was little romance to speak of as Mallory is literally ripped through time after being attacked in Edinburgh and dumped in the past, thoroughly confused as to what happened and why she was there, so that was a bit plus in my eyes. Furthermore, she is not in her own body, but in the body of a housemaid, Catriona, who has kind of a nefarious past. I thought the contradictions between Mallory's life and Catriona's were fun and enjoyed watching Mallory navigate an entirely different world trying to piece together what happened to her.

Mallory was an interesting character, somewhat uptight and a bit of a workaholic in her present-day life. When she is hurtled into the past, she is forced to depend on the people in her new household for help even if they don't quite understand what is happening to her, leaving them to assume it's the after-effects of the attack. Mallory discovers she works for a brother and sister who are a bit unusual for the time period, the brother being a funeral director who sort of works as an undercover coroner while his sister has a huge interest in the sciences and is, sort of, a chemist. This fascinates Mallory and she is hard-pressed to keep her modern-day knowledge to herself as she insinuates herself into their affairs.

The brother and sister do become suspicious, and I definitely loved this aspect of the book, as I think it is impossible for someone from the future to travel to the past and be inconspicuous, especially someone who is trained in criminology like Mallory. I enjoyed seeing Mallory navigate the events around the myrders, squirm around the destruction of crime scenes, and rack her brain trying to remember historical lessons of when fingerprinting and other such techniques were developed. Because she knew too much for a simple housemaid, even the criminal investigator was suspicious of her actions. Mallory's navigation of how much she should tell, how much she should lie, how to navigate around Catriona'a life, was very entertaining.

For me, the weakest part of the novel was the actual reason for why Mallory was attacked in the first place. While I did enjoy the murder mystery and thought it was nicely plotted, I did feel like the whole time travel aspect, and the consequences, was simply ignored. Rules for time travel do have to be established, and I feel like the author glossed over all of these things in this book. There is no concern about paradoxes, or about a Canadian fitting into nineteenth century Scotland. Yes, she may look like Catriona, but her phrasing is all her own and she would have stood out like a sore thumb.

Verdict
A Rip Through Time is an intriguing time travel/historical mystery. I thought the characters were well-developed and the plot was interesting. There is a lot of set-up in this book, and the author did gloss over the time-travel impact and consequences, something that did not really sit well with me, but I am looking forward to seeing what happens next for Mallory and wondering if she will ever return to modern-day Edinburgh.
