What this book is about

In the fourth Rip Through Time novel, homicide detective Mallory — still inhabiting the body of a Victorian housemaid while navigating 1869 Edinburgh — accompanies Duncan Gray to the Scottish Highlands for a wedding that quickly turns into a murder investigation. Kelley Armstrong's cozy-adjacent historical mystery series continues with its winning combination of fish-out-of-water humor from Mallory's modern perspective, genuinely interesting Victorian procedural work, and the slow-burn relationship between Mallory and Gray.
