Something has gone wrong in the timeline, not a totally unexpected thing considering that time travel has been opened up as a leisure passtime for tourists, but now the Time Rovers have to fix it. Cynda has been sent back to Victorian London to repair the damage and finds herself neck deep in another serial killer case and facing old and new enemies. As she navigates through the dangers that go beyond those inherent in her profession, Cynda must also deal with the fact that something is wrong in her mind. Like many an agent before her, she is dealing with hallucinations; well, one; Mr. Spider, an arachnid that provides often unwanted advice on his own schedule. As the body count edges higher, Cynda may pay the ultimate price to save proper chronology.

The one complaint I have is that a glossary would have been useful to refresh my mind on the terms, as I've read more than a few books since the first Time Rovers charmed me. However, despite that handicapping factor, I thoroughly enjoyed this fast-paced mystery. If you love Doctor Who, then this is a must-read. The logical narrative is also imaginative and intriguing. Book three cannot come soon enough.

Synopsis
Jacynda Lassiter's latest assignment is a no-win situation: find Harter Defoe, the greatest of all Time Rovers, and return him to the future against his will. After he attempts an assassination at a posh Victorian dinner party, Jacynda is given an ultimatum--find Defoe or spend the next decade in prison as punishment for her failure.

When her mission is threatened by the shape-shifting Transitives, history veers on a new and dangerous tangent. To save herself and preserve England's future, Jacynda Lassiter must find a way to navigate through two centuries of intrigue to thwart an invisible evil.
