The Aunt Paradox — Chris Dolley

HG Wells has a problem. His Aunt Charlotte has borrowed his time machine and won't give it back. Now she's rewriting history!

Reggie Worcester, gentleman's consulting detective, and his automaton valet, Reeves, are hired to retrieve the time machine and put the timeline back together. But things get complicated. Dead bodies start piling up behind Reggie's sofa, as he finds himself embroiled in an ever-changing murder mystery. A murder mystery where facts can be rewritten, and the dead don't always stay dead.

This 100 page novella is the third instalment in the Reeves and Worcester Steampunk Mysteries. The fourth instalment, a novel - The Unpleasantness at Baskerville Hall - which comes out on February 9th 2016, can be pre-ordered now.

"A fun blend of P.G. Wodehouse, steampunk and a touch of Sherlock Holmes. Dolley is a master at capturing and blending all these elements. More than fascinating, this work is also rip-roaring fun!" - SF Revu
