About this listen
A bloody revolution. Hard choices. Fatal consequences.
Sophie Arundel is stranded in a parallel universe, stuck in a grand house in an alternate 1925 England. Thankfully, she has her faithful dog, Charlotte. Oh, and Hugo Harrington who is stranded too—and Sophie’s fallen for him, head over heels.
Hugo’s entirely uninterested, but Sophie has bigger problems.
As a revolution threatens the Manor and everyone in it, Sophie finds the hidden portal to the twenty-first century. When she opens it, one man’s deadly secret will be exposed.
And he’ll kill to stop her.

Sequel is better than the first!
Even though I had lukewarm feelings about the first book in this trilogy, I am a sucker for time travel stories, so I bought the second book. Very glad I did. Much more forward movement in this novel, with plot elements resolved and new ones begun. A few things really strained credulity, but not critically so. Fun read/listen!
