The cold case department, which employs Ali Dawson and a handful of specialists, has a secret to solving their cases that are so cold, they are frozen: they can time travel to collect evidence. It's still an experimental program when a member of parliament requests Ali to travel to 1850s London to clear the name of his grandfather, who may have killed a woman to gain entry into a secret group called The Collectors. This is farther back than the team has previously ventured, but Ali is excited at the prospect.
Ali is not off to a promising start when she arrives to find a murdered woman. She then finds herself trapped in time, so she determines to solve the woman's murder. Meanwhile, in present-day London, Ali's son faces serious accusations, and the cold case team works to find a way to get Ali back.
I enjoyed the premise of traveling back in time to research a cold case. I particularly enjoyed the historical sections of 1850s London, where Ali struggled to adapt to her new environment. With Griffiths' trademark humor, excellent characters, and intriguing plots, this series is off to a promising start.
4.5/5 stars.
