A Rip Through Time

Enjoyed and binged the books available in this series (first 3) on audio in the last 3 days. The first was a good introduction to the series and set up the plot and time travel nicely. However, the writing was heavy-handed in reminding the reader that the FMC is a cop from the modern world (not to mention it honestly kind of stunk of white feminism for the first half of book 1) and repeatedly went over the dilemma of being stuck in a Victorian setting during every single lapse in the murder investigation - so much so that I would say that the plot of the first book's murder mystery was the least memorable.

I appreciated getting the FMC's modern-day detective perspective and had fun listening to the different characters work together; their personalities made them all the more enjoyable to get to know. The second and third books were much more intriguing and the murder mystery compelling. The series is a great way to get started with victorian mysteries and more popcorn-fun than complex.
