Dang it, I thought I had written a review! Now all my feels are gone. I must find them again.

Mallory is cop from Canada. She is in Edinburgh and she hears something, boom! Someone is trying to kill her and she wakes up disoriented and soon realises that this is not her body....this is not even her century! She is Catriona, a maid in 1869. How to talk? How to act? At least she can blame it on the coma.

But there is a serial killer on the loose who had tried to kill Catriona. And her new boss Dr Grey dabbles in being a medical examiner. It takes some time but little by little she starts helping him, but to tell him the truth would make him think her insane.

Oh this was fun! And so good! I really liked this book. Everything was thrilling and great. I really need book 2.

I listened to it and the narrator was great, she really got the feel for it. I mean I have no idea about the accents, but I liked her Scottish ones.

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 Mitchell 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.
