Book Review: ‘A Rip Through Time’ by Kelley Armstrong
A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong features a fascinating premise, but the execution falls a little flat. Mallory, a 21st-century Canadian detective, mysteriously swaps bodies with Catriona, a 19th-century Scottish housemaid, because the two women were strangled on the same spot exactly 150 years apart. This intriguing concept only takes the novel so far, though, because the whys and hows are barely investigated — especially frustrating when Mallory is surrounded by cutting-edge scientists while trapped in the past! And with this being the first in a series, I would’ve liked to see more attention paid to the fantasy elements in this installment.
