"Undercover cop finds 1813 mystery to solve."
(This is a sequel to THE DOOR AJAR which I will find & read
since I liked this story. There are many references to DA,
but I did not feel lost by not having read it first.) Cara
Marsdale, Scotland Yard Inspector, is staying at her
brother's home... and finds it impossible to resist looking
in the room which brought her sister-in-law from Regency
England. She awakes in 1813 with a pounding headache and
Stephen Hallforth, Earl of Harrington, standing over her. Cara calls on her undercover experience to help her pass as
Stephen's cousin but mourns leaving her 1995 life. When
there is a series of murders (her specialty at Scotland
Yard), Cara is determined to help Bow Street find the
killer. Meanwhile, the problems from Steven's past (from
Door Ajar but adequately explained) are causing concerns
for his safety. He is framed for murder again and Cara
finds she must trust Aidan... a warlock and Steven's best
friend.
