Kendra tells Molly that she may stay in the carriage, but Molly is horrified as she knows her place is with her mistress. Thus, Molly leaves the carriage to walk as well. Suddenly, they see a group of men, faces blackened in disguise, heading in their direction. These men just keep moving past the Duke and his party. Kendra keeps forgetting that she is not in The United States in the 21st c, but she quickly remembers. This is how the story continues. I actually laughed out loud quite a few times. The author's writing style is clear and flows beautifully.
The characters appear quite real, and the situation that Kendra is in lends itself to some humorous times as well as dangerous ones. Sep 06, Scarlett rated it really liked it. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series! The ending was definite left open for more books with Kendra Donovan as the main character, investigating murders in the s. And I'd definitely want to read every one! They're well written with likable characters and a mystery that keeps you on your toes until the end. As far as the murder mystery in this one, it was my least favorite of the three.
Not saying that it was bad in any way, just comparing it to the two previous I thought they were a bit stron I have thoroughly enjoyed this series! Not saying that it was bad in any way, just comparing it to the two previous I thought they were a bit stronger and was just more invested. But it was still very well done and I was still kept guessing until the very end.
The real strength of this book was the ending! There was a bit after the killer was revealed that dragged. But I knew something good had to be coming when there was still 3. The ending completely surprised me and connected some events in the first book to the overall story. I'm still kind of reeling from the big reveal! It was SO good and unexpected that it makes me want the story to continue. As in the last books Kendra, Alec, the Duke, Sam Kelly, Molly, and all the variety of supporting characters were so likable and well written.
Everyone has a backstory and realistic motivations. Like I said before, I'd read tons of books with these characters investigating murders!
Overall very pleased with this series, so glad I read it, and here's hoping theres a book 4. Sep 23, Rbucci rated it really liked it. The author threw a nice little and unexpected twist into this book. I look forward to reading the next book when it comes out. Aug 22, Laura rated it liked it Shelves: The larger question of the main character's future was brought closer to resolution in this third installment in the Kendra Donovan series, but it was not as engaging as the first two books. Aug 09, May rated it really liked it Shelves: The third book in the series was good, but not as exciting as the previous 2 in my opinion.
I wish there were more steamy episodes between Alec and Kendra, sigh Overall, it was good. And of course, I believe there will be another one: May 06, Sydney rated it really liked it. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite mystery series'. It's such a fun mashup of some of my favorite genres: This volume did not disappoint. Our main character, Kendra, is an FBI agent from our era. In the first volume of the series, she somehow traveled back in time to Regency England. Through some incredible luck, she has managed to land on her feet, under the protection of a very open-minded Duke. In the first and second books, she and the D This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite mystery series'.
In the first and second books, she and the Duke and his nephew have to deal with some pretty horrific crimes. As this book begins, Kendra and the Duke are traveling to one of the Duke's other estates and stop in a small village to wait out some bad traveling weather just in time to be of help in another murder investigation.
An eye-rolling, amazing coincidence? Interestingly, the book almost seems to take that on and in a way that I appreciated. Obviously, Kendra's experience as an FBI agent is very helpful with all the murders she tends to happen across, although it is interesting to see her navigate the criminal justice system as it existed in England at that time.
As a thoroughly modern woman, Kendra also has a very hard time with the social mores and hierarchy of the era, as one would expect. Sometimes, I wish she would not fight so hard and just roll with it all a little better. Just like the first two books in this series, I found Caught In Time to be great fun, and I look forward to the next one.

This time, Kendra and The Duke are traveling to another one of his homes when they are stuck in a small town due to the dense fog. During their stay, a murder at the mill happens. You may think you have the ending figured out, but the author throws in a twist! Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me an advanced Another great book in the Kendra Donovan series!

If you like Outlander, this is completely up your alley. Kendra has been in for a few months now and is feeling less and less like she is going to be able to travel back to her own time years into the future.

As Kendra is getting restless her guardian, the Duke of Alridge, suggest they take a trip to one of his country homes and Kendra agrees. As they are taking the long, slow journey to Lancashire they pass through the beautiful countryside of Yorkshire where the Industrial Revolution is taking place before their eyes and the violence that came with it.
As Kendra and the Duke are traveling they came upon a great deal of fog and had to walk to the closest inn to take shelter for the evening, and in the fog they came across a group of Luddites who are against the Industrial Revolution due to job losses. The Luddites go on their way, as does Kendra and the Duke, however, the Duke informs the local magistrate that he feels something may have occurred at the mill due to the Luddites being in the area. The magistrate goes to check and instead finds the mill manager dead in his office.
As the local magistrate wants to believe it is the Luddites, Kendra suspects otherwise and realizes she has to find the real killer. I did NOT at all see that one coming! Another spectacular story in this continuing saga and I just want to read more! Aug 23, John rated it really liked it Shelves: Since FBI Special Agent Kendra Donovan fell through the "wormhole" to Regency era England two months ago, she has thwarted a serial killer and identified the murderer of the former paramour of Alex, the Duke of Aldridge's nephew. This book reminds us that technology is not the holy grail but a complement to creative teaching, and that student motivation remains as important as the content on offer.
I read this book again every few months. We entrepreneurs like to have a Superman mentality, but that's a wildly impractical perspective that realistically will hold us back from our own success. Obi Brafman shares the stories of companies and organizations that have manifested from the community and lessons we can learn from this unusual and uncontrolled approach. Using the Starfish and its unique ability to replicate itself as a metaphor, Brafman shows how community lead organizations are changing how we engage with each other as coworkers and customers; while also building something that is, in itself, unbreakable.
As we all are building new solutions, new teams and sometimes a whole new company, Brafman's ideas make me pause and consider untraditional and engagement driven approaches to solving problems and building a community. The beginning of the book is very fun and competitive. A group of animals looking to be the first to stack 10 apples on top of their head.
They walk tightrope and other activities while balancing their apples. Then out of nowhere, bear comes along, decides he wants their apples and attempts to, for no reason, knock down and take everyone apples. Those who started as competitors found themselves needing to work on a team in order to ward off the bear. And in the end, by working together, the stolen apples eventually landed stacked 10 tall on each animal's head. I've met the competitors, the bears and the team players in every business meeting I've ever been in.
Over the years, I've played each of those roles. It's important to be the team player in every position. So while its childlike, most of the best business deals I've ever done included skills I learned on the playground. Keep it simple and don't worry about anyone else's apples. I put the exact steps that I used to bounce back from a divorce, remarry and build one of the fastest growing online coaching businesses. When my clients started adding joy breaks into their daily routines their income increased and relationships improved as they cultivated a life of happiness.
A life well lived is not one in which you merely exist. It is a life of intention, joy and overall well-being. This book is the ultimate guide to living a rich, fulfilling life regardless of your career, income status or background. Enjoying life is the secret to manifesting your best life and business.
It was incredibly helpful for a lifetime of investment decision making. It is a viewpoint altering book, which is a must-read by any savvy investor. As far as I'm concerned, anyone looking to be successful should read this book. It's not so much the descriptions of Jordan as a basketball player, it's the absolute, pathological obsession Jordan had to be great that fascinates me.
Jordan was a freak, not because of his skills, but because of his desire, his energy, and his competitive spirit. Immersing yourself in a story about someone with that kind of drive can't help but make you feel like you, too, can be like Mike. Refresh and try again.
