A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain FIC McE

FBI agent and child prodigy Kendra Donovan is on the hunt for the man who infiltrated her team and led to their deaths.  Her search takes her to England and Aldrich Castle.  When her plans go awry she runs for cover in a secret passageway...

...and comes to in the same castle in 1815.

Forced to hide her identity while she tries to figure out what happened to her and how to get back to her own time, Kendra becomes involved in trying to solve the murder of a young prostitute whose body is found in a local river. She must also try to figure out how to put her 21st century experiences to use while not giving up the truth about her life.  If only the presence of the Duke of Aldrich's nephew wasn't such a distraction.

This wasn't a great book but rather a fun book to read.  The book bore some resemblance to other time travel romances I've read.  The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon springs to mind.  Kendra is a likable heroine, concerned with finding the killer but also with how her presence in the past could affect the future. The author hints at a sequel.
