"""Outstanding. With perfect pacing, McElwain holds the reader’s interest from the first page to the last."" * Publishers Weekly (starred) * ""McElwain cleverly expresses Donovan’s modernity and forensic expertise without betraying the concept of the series: Here is a character who is out of place in time, but still manages to get along in the 19th century, giving readers a blend of crime scene investigation and historical period color."" * Historical Novels Review * ""An unusual, absorbing tale. Well-integrated story lines involve Kendra’s romance and a grief-stricken family whose son’s fate is an education in the horrors of war. The highlight here, however, is the time-travel aspect, which sees FBI investigatory skills muted to match the knowledge and mores of the day."" * Booklist * ""A much improved mystery, a touch of history, and the obligatory romance combine for a pleasing read."" * Kirkus Reviews * ""An entertaining mystery with considerable period detail and a touch of romance. Fans of historical mysteries with strong female characters, such as Rhys Bowen’s ‘Molly Murphy’ series or Laurie King’s ‘Mary Russell’ books will enjoy."" * Library Journal * ""A deftly crafted and unique time-travel based mystery, Betrayal in Time is a thoroughly entertaining page-turner of a read from beginning to end."" * Midwest Book Review *"
