A serial killer travels through time, dispatching of his victims: young women he refers to as “shining girls”. Finally, a time travel novel that makes sense. Sort of. An interesting premise and no real faults in time travel logic – but no real answers either. Why is this house a time machine? What motivates the serial killer to murder these women? What makes them “shine”? They’re developing this book for television so maybe the t.v. series will have the answers. But probably not.

I'd give this a C. Way to reminiscent of Stephen King for my liking. Fairly well executed thriller but the fantasy hook is wasted on what amounts to a police procedural.
