The Frozen People: A Mystery (Ali Dawson Mysteries)

Ali Dawson and her cold case team refer to themselves as The Frozen People, as they work on cases so old that they’re considered frozen. Their team has the unique ability to travel back in time to gather evidence for their cold cases. Ali is asked to investigate the great-great-grandfather of a politician, one whom her son works for. The person in question was part of a group known as the Collectors and was thought to have murdered three women. Ali travels back to 1850 to investigate and ends up stuck. When another team member comes to rescue her, he informs her that the politician has been murdered and her son is the main suspect. Ali knows the cases are related, but she has no idea how far it goes.

This story has a lot of potential and is well written for a time-traveling tale. It doesn’t focus too strongly on the time travel bit to get confusing, and the premise was certainly interesting. Ali is a super fun character to get to know. The only disappointing aspect is that the mysteries from the Victorian part of the story are hardly explored. Overall, a fun, unique mystery to read.
