May 20, 2019: While out on a jog one evening, homicide detective Malloryhears a woman in distress. She's drawn to an alley, where she is attacked and loses consciousness.
May 20, 1869: Housemaid Catriona Thomson had been enjoying a half-day off, only to be discovered that night in a lane, where she’d been strangled and left for dead . . . exactly 150 years before Mallory was strangled in the same spot. When Mallory wakes up in Catriona’s body in Victorian Scotland, she must put aside her shock and adjust quickly to the reality: life as a housemaid to an undertaker who has just taken on an intriguing case, the strangulation of a young man, similar to the attack on herself. Her only hope is that catching the murderer can lead her back to her modern life . . . before it’s too late.

Holy shit, I’m wearing a corset and a nightgown. Also some kind of wig—I can feel hair against my back where it normally falls on my shoulders.
