About this listen
A time traveler’s work is never done.
Likable antiques dealer Joseph Bridgeman is back in the present and dreaming of a quiet life. But when a mysterious and enigmatic time traveler arrives in his shop, Joe learns that his first trip was just the beginning and this time, the rules of the game have changed.
Blackmailed into accepting a new mission, Joe is flung back to 1960s London where he comes face-to-face with a ruthless gangster and witnesses the brutal murder of an innocent woman. Joe knows better than most that death can be reversed and the final chapter is sometimes where the story actually begins. Emotionally involved, he has no choice but to act, and quickly. With the help of Vinny, his vinyl-loving sidekick, Joe once again sets out to change the course of history. Sounds simple enough...but when it comes to time travel, nothing is ever as it seems. Who is the old time traveler working for? And who decides what can and can’t be changed?
In a thrilling twist, Joe discovers that the victim is critically important to the future, and what starts out as a straightforward mission soon becomes a race to unravel a mystery - one that threatens the very timeline he fought so hard to protect. Joe must dig deeper than ever, master his newfound skills, and save the woman before the past catches up with him for good.
Turns out time doesn’t heal after all. It just adds salt.

Nick Jones is British and I doubt he would use these Americanisms when writing. OK its not a deal breaker but just a niggle that made me cringe when I was listening. Looking forward to the next two books.

I'm really enjoying the sometimes predictability and suspense. I'm finished within a day. I have a question, but I can't divulge it without giving the story away so I'll wait and carry on listening and I'm hoping the answer will reveal itself. Leaves me wondering what would I do if I could time travel? What events might change in the world from your actions. loving the excitable Vinny as much as I am Joe and Amy. On to Book 3
Have questions! Hoping clarity comes in the book 3

The story picks up where the first book left off but the impact of what has happened is skated over. Joe's life has massively changed as he is the only one who remembers what life was like before, With little time to adjust he is once more having to travel back in time. This time though he can go further and the effects seems to be fewer.
The women in this story are all a bit flat- very little depth or dimension to them which is a bit frustrating, as some are pivotal to the tale.
The narration is generally good. Unlike others it doesn't bother me to have an American reading it. I was more bothered by his not very good attempts at accents, but feel his story telling, intonation etc. is good.
A good tale, well told although with flaws.
