A Twist in Time is the second book in the Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain. Kendra is a 21st century FBI agent who is stuck in 1815. This book opens with Kendra’s plan to return to her time having failed. When word comes to the Duke of Aldridge that his nephew has been accused of murdering his former mistress, Lady Dover, he believes that the reason Kendra was unable to return to her time is because she needs to help clear Alec’s name and they set off to London to do just that.
Upon arriving in London, Kendra, the Duke and Alec again team up with Bow Street Runner, Sam Kelly, and Lady Rebecca. In between fittings for an all-new wardrobe, routs and parties, Kendra begins her investigation into the death of Lady Dover. Lady Dover was stabbed repeatedly and then her face was mutilated leading Kendra to believe this crime was personal. While looking into Lady Dover’s life, Kendra uncovers more than she expected including a false past, a crime boss with revenge on his mind and a string of current and past lovers.
This was another enjoyable read in the Kendra Donovan series. It combines many genres and sub-genres to make for an interesting storyline. Kendra Donovan, the hard as nails FBI agent, is forced to assume the role that is expected of genteel ladies in the early 19th century after travelling through time. You’ve got romance, mystery, regency, and historical fiction all in one story.
