Ok as a mystery story. The characters did not interest me as much as I would have liked.

There was not much in the way of romantic or emotional development. I much prefer Ms. Howard's other books. Story brief: Bad guys from around 2200 time travel back to 2005 to get something of value. Nikita is an FBI agent from 2200 who travels to 2005 to stop them, but doesn't know what they are looking for. She and the police chief Knox work together and fall for each other. Some people are murdered. The author toys with Nikita's lack of understanding of slang. For example, instead of calling someone a "big baby" she calls him a "large baby." Knox says she might "split". She doesn't know that means "leave." It wasn't that interesting for me.
