About the Book
Time-traveling private investigator Imogen Oliver investigates a teen who disapeared in 1967, and travels to the turn of the 20th century to locate a set of missing stereoscopic glass plates with a mysterious connection to her own life.
Book Synopsis
Imogen was four the first time it happened. As she flipped through her grandma's dusty photo album gazing into the faded, monochrome faces of her grandma's somber family--relatives with funny names like Aunt Ada and Uncle Paul and Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Gordy, and second cousins Percy and Viola from Missoula--suddenly, the universe tilted, and for a brief instant Imogen found herself inside of one of the pictures.
One of only a handful of individuals who can time travel through photos, she establishes an investigative business to help people recover lost items and unearth the stories and secrets of friends and relatives from the past.
Step into time with Imogen Oliver in this first book in the Dead Relatives, Inc. series as she investigates a teenage girl who disappeared to 1967 San Francisco with her boyfriend, then journeys back to 1912 to locate a set of missing stereoscopic glass plates that hold a curious connection to her own life.
Review Quotes
"Imogen Oliver is one of the most engaging, endearing characters of modern fantasy to pop out of a book that I can ever recall. I'd follow her anywhere; backwards, forwards and upside down through time, you name it. Wherever she goes, marvelous things happen." -- Laurie Notaro, New York Times bestselling author
