No, no, NO! I really wanted to love this book. The premise intrigued me. A detective from the literary unit is asked to help with a case involving fictional characters being kidnapped! Cool! But, no. I couldn't get past the first 100 pages. The alternate time really threw me for a loop. I'm not that great on world history and having Thursday's (the heroine) time-traveling father pop in-and-out asking historical questions was distracting. I found myself going to the computer to make sure if that's what happened in my universe or in the alternate universe more than I was enjoying the reading. Some funny bits such as an enemy's name (Jack Schitt as in ... you don't know Jack Sh**!). He ends up in one of my favorite author's poems (Poe) and changes the entire poem to accommodate Thursday's name. The cons outwayed the pros in continuing reading this book. That being said, hopefully, someone else will like it.
