This was the first book I have read by this author and I was not disappointed at all. The characters and scenes were well developed and complex, my favorite kind. The speed of the book was perfect, slow at times and speeding up at just the right times to the climax. The author is excellent at written prose and I found myself at the end, wanting so much more after going on an emotional roller coaster with the characters and in my opinion, that is the best kind of book to read. I will be reading every book by this author I can get my hands on!… (meer)

After 10 years, Detective Lila Day still refuses to believe that her sister is a cold-blooded killer. To clear Callie’s name and solve this long-cold case, Lila asks her friend Teddy Hawkins to do what he has done before—send her back to time, to solve the crime before it takes place.

I was drawn into this book right away, who wouldn't be: wealth, time travel. I'm not always a fan of books of this ilk, too much fluff not enough believable plot. This book however was neither of those. I'd recommend this book for someone who likes believable mystery, but isn't afraid of a little plot either!
