Join the North Providence Mystery Book Club on Tuesday
November 12, 2024. We will be discussing, A Rip through Time by Kelley
Armstrong. This is the first book featuring Canadian Detective Mallory Atkinson
who somehow goes from 2019 Edinburgh to 1869 Edinburgh.
The book description from the author’s website is: “May 20, 2019: Homicide detective
Mallory is in Edinburgh to be with her dying grandmother. While out on a jog
one evening, Mallory hears a woman in distress. She’s drawn to an alley, where
she is attacked and loses consciousness. May
20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Mitchell had been enjoying a half-day off,
only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she’d been strangled and left
for dead . . . exactly one-hundred-and-fifty years before Mallory was strangled
in the same spot. When Mallory wakes up in Catriona’s body in 1869, she must
put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality: life as a housemaid to
an undertaker in Victorian Scotland. She soon discovers that her boss, Dr.
Gray, also moonlights as a medical examiner and has just taken on an intriguing
case, the strangulation of a young man, similar to the attack on herself. Her
only hope is that catching the murderer can lead her back to her modern life .
. . before it’s too late.”
We will be meeting in the Second Floor Meeting Room at 6:30 PM and on Zoom. For more information, see Sara at the Reference Desk. We will be meeting on the 2nd Tuesday because the library will be closed on the 1st Tuesday.
