À propos de cet audio

Disturbing the Dead is the latest in a unique series with one foot in the 1860s and the other in the present day. The Rip Through Time crime novels are a genre-blending, atmospheric romp from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.

Victorian Scotland is becoming less strange to modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson. Though inhabiting someone else’s body will always be unsettling, even if her employers know that she’s not actually housemaid Catriona Mitchell, ever since the night both of them were attacked in the same dark alley 150 years apart. Mallory likes her job as assistant to undertaker/medical examiner Dr. Duncan Gray, and is developing true friends—and feelings—in this century.

So, understanding the Victorian fascination with death, Mallory isn't that surprised when she and her friends are invited to a mummy unwrapping at the home of Sir Alastair Christie. When their host is missing when it comes time to unwrap the mummy, Gray and Mallory are asked to step in. And upon closer inspection, it’s not a mummy they’ve unwrapped, but a much more modern body.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Armstrong’s intriguing and atmospheric time-travel mystery will appeal to readers who enjoy historical detail."–Library Journal (starred review)

“A rip-roaring great read. . . the best time travel tale I’ve read in a long time.”—The Providence Journal

"Armstrong fashions a satisfying narrative out of familiar parts and nails her lead’s cheeky, anachronistic narration. This is winningly silly and satisfying."–Publishers Weekly

A new slant on historical detective books with a modern connection. Well developed and likeable characters. Add in an exceptional narrator and you have many hours of highly enjoyable listening.

Fantastic series

Loved the mystery and the new characters. Enjoyed the historical details. Slow getting into it, but I think more my fault then the book. Once I got into it, page turner.

I Love Them All

I love how this 3rd installment highlights the strong and wonderful female cast of characters, without as many societal constraints because of the networks they've all built. Trying to type this without spoilers so mind the vague references. Mallory's near end of book events wove together some details that I've been wondering about since book 1. My only complaint is that this book just came out and I want more already!!! From a Calgary based fan, thank you for transporting me outside of our little western canadian corner into the most wonderful world.

I neeeeeed mooooorrre!

Great listen !

I enjoyed this series. Books 2 & 3 had plot points nearly identical to another book series - pretty sure it was the "Veronica Speedwell" books. Still, I found them entertaining, and would eagerly devour a book 4. I don't usually prefer time-travel stories, but this one was good and didn't have the typical (and annoying) time-travel tropes.

Very entertaining
