About this ebook
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.

This has just enough of a Sherlock Homes vibe, with a dash of forensic science and some time travel angst thrown in. Put it all together, and it's a brilliant idea for a series. To take it from there into a story that engages with deep characters that you can't help but root for as they go through the adventure makes it a work of genius. Kelley Armstrong has delighted through the otherworld novels, Cainsville, Rockton, and her other time travel novels. I look forward to seeing what she will delight with next! Baer Kenney

First off I have to say anything to do with Egypt and mummies and I’m hooked. Throw in a murder and stolen artifacts with a time traveling police detective stuck in the past and you have a recipe for an amazing adventure. “Even as an adult, I still have a macabre turn of mind, as you well know.” A faint smile. “A turn of mind that we share, and I agree. Mallory and Duncan are the Sherlock and Holmes of Victorian Scotland. There relationship has progressed in this third book and I’m loving the
