Time Travel for Beginners

When single-mom Anna gets hit by a car, she makes a life change and accepts a job working for an agency that claims that customers can time travel. Traveling to the past to fix a mistake or witness history seems irresistible, but online reviews of the experience are predominantly accusatory or complain about the high cost. Anna witnesses strange things on the job, including a door she’s not allowed to enter and a recurring visitor who either screams or cries after their trip through time. Then she learns about a mysterious death. Is the company a scam? What is the truth behind what Anna’s supposed to be selling? The reader follows Anna as she tries to uncover the truth along with Teddy, a man whose recent marriage imploded after his wife ran off with his brother; and Jade, who believes the Time Travel Agency is the root cause of her trauma. With compelling characters, a baffling mystery, and an ending that even savvy readers will not see coming, Moriarty’s latest is a winner that explores fate and how we are all connected.—Jeff Ayers
