Publisher's summary

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 series just keeps getting better!

These novels are always an automatic buy and I looked forward to new releases and eagerly devour them while also trying to make them last. Kelley Armstrong has been one of my favorite authors for years. This novel adds some resolution to Mallory ‘s “real” life story but in a way that left me craving the next installment!

good entertainment

My only complaint is that I don't remember the narrator changing the MFC's voice when she's in the past in books 1 and 2. Took me a while to figure that out and still threw me off, so, for me, it was not as clear as the first two were.

The "mole" is completely apparent so some eye rolling on my part occurred.

However, the story was well told, the characters believable, and it was a good time. This is three of (so far) three, and I am looking forward to #4.

Great narrator and intriguing story

I enjoyed the previous two books much more. This one read more like a historical textbook at times. However, it was still a delightful read. I look forward to more.
