Rip Through Time
In a city cloaked in gaslight and grit, where every shadow seems to whisper a secret, time tears open—and someone falls through.
Rip Through Time unspools its mystery with eerie elegance, blending historical suspense, slow-burn crime drama, and a speculative twist that sidesteps the usual time-travel tropes. The series begins not with a machine or a portal, but with a single, brutal attack that rips a 21st-century homicide detective out of her world and into the body of a woman in 1869 Edinburgh. What follows is not a frantic scramble to get home, but a calculated reckoning with the past—its brutality, its beauty, and its buried truths.
At the center of this atmospheric crime series is a woman out of time, forced to hide her identity while using modern instincts to navigate a world that barely tolerates her presence, let alone her intelligence. The city itself becomes a living character: dark alleys, bloodied cobblestones, and drawing rooms hiding crueler truths than any backstreet. As she becomes entangled in Victorian-era murder investigations, the clash of eras reveals not only how far we've come—but how much still lingers in the dark.
Rip Through Time consists of five primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
