Like Dee, even I am curious to know more about time travel. Having said that, I am really looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
I wish there were more details on the time travel part of it. As this is the first book in the series, more importance was given to characters and their introduction. I liked the concept of time travel in a cozy mystery. As a reporter, curiosity is in her blood and she finally unravels a mystery that makes her spine tingle (no spoilers here!).
Dee’s dedication to her job was well described in the story. Ting Ting! There were too many characters and I had some difficulty in remembering all their names but it didn’t stop me from liking the story.ĭee’s nana was a complete hoot! The geriatric lady is quirky, weird and an absolute poppet! Her antics make you laugh out loud. Though it was a tad lengthy, I liked how Keane introduced two mysteries in one story – two birds with one stone. She also finds a radium-coated watch in the evidence bag – did he time travel? Dee is curious to know more about this mystery man. The man’s uniform did not look like a replica.
She pockets the cartridge and gives it to the Garda later on. The Garda and the EMT arrive too.ĭee finds a 100-year-old gun and cartridge. By then, people stream out to see what the commotion is all about. He asks her to run away – her life is also in danger, he says. The injured man is wearing a RIC uniform and he calls her Eliza. Sandwiched between two gunshot victims, Dee’s shocked to the core. The clouds are now clear (no purple haze either) and she checks the clown for a pulse. Dee hears more gunshots in the castle and screams for help. She sees the clown in the purple haze, staggering towards her. She finds herself thrown away and conks her head. Dee is used to Ireland’s erratic weather – you never know when the clouds turn dark and it starts to pour cats and dogs! Dee is on her way to pick her grandmother up for an appointment with the doctor when the clouds turn purple! Dee is so amazed to see such a wonderful event that she decides to take a picture or two. The 150-year-old castle where Dee works houses a newspaper office (the Chronicle), a museum, Mayor’s office and much more. The concoction of time travel and cozy mystery is what drew me to this book. Deadline with Death is the first book in the Time-Slip Mysteries series.
