Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosy mysteries with genuine puzzles to unravel, not just gentle procedurals.
You're drawn to time travel stories that treat the mechanic seriously rather than whimsically.
You appreciate protagonists who are intellectually curious and willing to question their own perception.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced, high-stakes action. This builds atmosphere slowly and relies on creeping unease.
You prefer romance as a core plot driver rather than a secondary element.
You find unreliable narrators frustrating rather than compelling.

About this book

Dr. Catherine Kensie, a history professor at a small midwestern college, is grieving the sudden death of her parents. When a stranger arrives at her door with news that she has inherited a castle in Scotland, along with an antique gold watch and a mysterious note from a distant relative, Cate is intrigued. The will requires her to live on the estate. With no other family besides her dog Riley, Cate accepts the inheritance and relocates to Scotland. Once settled at Dunhaven Castle, Cate begins experiencing strange events and peculiar occurrences that no one else seems to witness. As these bizarre incidents escalate, she questions her own sanity while struggling to understand what is happening around her. With mystery surrounding her and Riley, Cate must uncover the secret of Dunhaven Castle.
