Summary: Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier.
But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things right--not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself.
Review: Definitely not CW's best book. I had a very hard time getting into it, and it wasn't until around page 200 that I really started enjoying it, as I found the beginning very jumbled and confusing. I'm glad I'd already read The Doomsday Book or it would have been even more confusing.
I did end up enjoying it though, and managed to read the last 300 pages in less than 24 hours - feeling very smug that I'd guessed at least part of the mystery already on page 230 :-D
