Review: Schemes & Scandals by Kelley Armstrong

Writer's picture: La Crimson FemmeLa Crimson Femme

When will Mallory's time warp ever end? The longer she stays, the harder it will be to return back to her own time. I am not a fan of time travel stories, but for some reason, this series has hooked me in. Perhaps because it is less about time travel and more about a displaced person solving crimes and I love crime solving. This novella could probably be read as a standalone. I would recommend reading this in the order of the series written. Ms. Armstrong does a nice job of catching readers up to speed but to enjoy it fully, reading from the start would help.


It is now Christmas in Scotland and Mallory is still back in time and in another person's body. Her bond continues to grow with Duncan. I cannot help but wonder how this will end for her. I also wonder what is happening in her time with her body! Because the body swap personality isn't a great one in her stead.


This story is well written with a view of historical biases and betrayals. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the bluestocking women in this series. I also enjoy how Ms. Armstrong is able bring current time into the past in a believable time traveling way. Recommend this mystery to readers who enjoy historical fiction with a time twist.
