Caught in Time
Kendra Donovan Mysteries
Julie McElwain
Still stranded in 1815, FBI agent Kendra Donovan finds herself
on the trail of a vicious murderer with a shocking secret.
October 1815: There is only one place Kendra Donovan wants
to travel—back to her own time period in the twenty-first cen-
tury. But since that’s not happening, she agrees instead to
travel with her new guardian, the Duke of Aldridge, to one of
his smaller estates in Lancashire. Their journey takes them
through Yorkshire, a region whose breathtaking beauty masks
a simmering violence brought on by the Industrial Revolution,
which pits mill owner against worker.
When Kendra and the Duke encounter a band of Luddites on a lonely, fog-shrouded road, the Duke
informs the authorities in the nearby village of East Dingleford that mischief may have been done at
the local mill. However, it isn’t just mischief but murder that is discovered, when the body of the mill
manager, Mr. Stone, is found brutally bludgeoned to death in his office.
The Constable is certain the radical-minded Luddites committed the murder. One look at the crime
scene and Kendra knows they did not, prompting the Duke to shock the locals by volunteering their
services to catch the real killer. Joined by lover Alec and Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must
sort through the puzzle of Stone’s rather unsavory life, picking apart alibies and dissecting carefully
created deceptions from a growing list of suspects.
As a special agent for the FBI, Kendra thought she’d encountered every kind of evil. But when anoth-
er, even more vicious murder rocks East Dingleford, Kendra realizes that they’re dealing with a stone-
cold killer—one who has a shocking secret that he will do anything to protect.
