Number two in Griffiths’ latest series which is part science fiction (because: time travel), part mystery (because: dead bodies), and part literary / historical fiction ( because: plenty of character development, some romance, and action in historical climes!). Ali Dawson is a detective that investigates cold cases. Really cold as in Victorian England, using secret time travel technology. With the time travel physicist “stuck” in the past, there has been a definite kibosh put on time traveling until she is returned. But when a suicide is somehow linked to a medium who appears to know something about the whole deal, and a mysterious perpetrator stirs up trouble, Ali decides to go back anyway. Pretty entertaining, some great descriptions of Victorian life (and dress), and intriguing, individualistic characters. While we have closure by the end, definitely get the feeling number three is not long behind…
