The Psychology of Time Travel, Kate Mascarenhas

★★★

As a science fiction meets murder mystery, this book settles in between two interesting genres. However, for some readers it features too much academia to be hard science fiction, but too much science fiction to be considered a mystery. In this way it straddles a few genres that kept me turning pages until the very end.

At first there are a litany of interesting women characters that it was a bit difficult to discern between them, but as their role in the overarching mystery becomes clearer, they, too, grow more complex and flawed and soon become their own driving forces of the story.

Expect that book about time travel will jump back and forth between time and characters slowly building tension as a mystery unravels. For some, this may be off-putting because just when the story begins to build it changes channels.

Overall, I commend the risks this book took and the journey of learning more about the fresh characters in this genre-bending mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
