Who wouldn't like the chance to meet their ancestors when they were young? Reporter Teresa Mancini and her friend are in Atlantic City celebrating her birthday when something strange happens. She finds herself in 1955, in the place of her doppelganger great aunt Theresa Mancini, older sister to her grandfather, who is 19 and also lives in the boarding house run by Zia Netta. The 1955 Theresa was also a reporter, and Tess finds herself drawn into a mystery when her brother Val is accused of murdering a former resident of the boarding house who may have been a Nazi sympathizer. She loves the clothes and the car, but is hoping to help Val beat the murder charge, and eventually return to the present day. Nineteen fifties Atlantic City is vividly portrayed, and the mystery and characters are excellent. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this advance copy.
