"A Murder in Time" is an intricate mystery about a brilliant FBI agent who finds herself transported back in time to the 1800s. Relegated to the servant class, she stumbles across a gruesome murder, and she alone recognizes there is a serial killer in their midst. She scrambles to solve the case before it takes her own life — 200 years before she was born. At its core, McElwain's debut novel is a puzzle, a hunt for a murderer and a quest for justice.
