Time Travel vs. The Aunt

I try to flag any books put out by Book View Cafe that I really enjoyed. Chris Dolley's "Reeves and Wooster" series is one. The following, the fifth, I find the tightest yet. I especially enjoyed it this grim year, when I've been looking for absorbing and or entertaining reads. The dinner parties alone were worth the prince of admission for me.

Deja Vu Halloo
Reeves & Worcester Steampunk Mysteries 5
by Chris Dolley

It’s Groundhog Day, 1906. February 2nd is stuck on repeat, and only our intrepid trio appear to have noticed. Emmeline senses the meddling of a higher power – possibly her aunt. Reggie’s sure it’ll be the handiwork of the subterranean horror one least suspects. And Reeves considers it all ‘most disturbing.’

Can our heroes save the world from perpetual winter? And could ending the time loop be just the start of an even thornier problem?

This short novel is the sixth Reeves & Worcester Steampunk mystery and is set a few months after The Unpleasantness at Baskerville Hall.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I can see someone writing a paper some day on various SF/F books which employ the Groundhog day trope. I can't help thinking of Jo Walton's Lent as Groundhog Day in Renaissance Italy.

That would indeed make an interesting paper!
