TIMELESS SERIES #5
REBECCA'S REVIEW:
" . . . there was only one thing to do. I had to surrender to God's plan. I wasn't sure what it was, or how it would work, but I was at the end of my own abilities."
Managing her life between London, England in 1887 and Washington, DC in 1938 has just gotten a lot more complicated. Coming to the realization that her sister's banishment from their London home was essentially a death warrant, Kathryn's work as a guest curator at the London Museum becomes all the more crucial. Jack the Ripper was an elusive historical figure in one time period and a dangerous criminal in another.
Might Kathryn's research expose the identity of the cold blooded killer and thus provide her with the evidence necessary to prevent her sister's demise? Time-crossers (of which she was one) were warned against trying to change history in either path, automatically forfeiting that portion of their life forever . . . which made the situation all the more heartbreaking, since this particular portion of her life included her beloved.
Absolutely brilliant! It is almost inconceivable to realize how skillfully this author twisted and turned the cogs of history to write this alluring, believable conclusion to one of history's most infamous mysteries ever autopsied within a narrative.
