Disturbing the Dead

Publisher Description

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.

Slightly Smiling Face“Loved it! But that is nothing new with this series. I was not expecting what happened, and I love that we are making some progress with Mallory and Gray. It’s slow progress but it’s progress nonetheless. I am eating up the crumbs that Kelly gives us of Gray and Mallory’s romance. I’m 100% going to read the next book and cannot wait until the fourth book comes out. I took a while to read this book, not because it wasn’t good but because I was reading more than one book at a time, and had kinda set this one on the back burner, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!”
