Book Review of Blackout (Oxford Time Travel, Bk 1)

Blackout (Oxford Time Travel, Bk 1)

This book and its companion, All Clear (not really a sequel; it's really one book sold in two parts), are well worth reading if you like time travel fiction but REALLY could have used some editing down - the story tends to drag, especially in the second book, and could have been made much shorter. Nevertheless I think Connie Willis has written a layered, well-thought-out book with clues that reveal themselves slowly (of course). Agatha Christie makes a cameo appearance for good reason. The payoff at the end (of the second book) is great.
