by Kim Fleet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 229 ratings
A heart-pounding timeshift thriller! Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Dan Brown, Kate Mosse and Tom Harper.

Who is Eden running from…?


England, 1795

Kept woman Rachel Lovett is forced onto the streets when her benefactor loses all his money.

Forced into stealing jewellery to survive, Rachel finds herself running from a thief taker – and must do all she can to keep her neck from the hangman’s noose.

She is forced to join a brothel and soon finds herself introduced to the ruthless Paternoster Club…


Cheltenham, 2013

Over two hundred years later a pair of skeletons are found in the grounds of a prestigious school, and local Private Investigator Eden Grey is called to the scene.

It becomes clear that these are not recent murders – the bodies have lain there for centuries.

Eden does all she can to unravel the historic mystery – but she has dangerous secrets of her own.

As Eden’s past – and her true identity – starts to close in on her, and more strange cases land in her lap, Eden finds herself in a race against time to solve the mysteries.

But who is Eden Grey? And what is she hiding from?

Can she unravel the secrets of the past?

PATERNOSTER is the first book in the Eden Grey Mystery Series, dual timeline conspiracy thrillers with a strong female lead.

‘Cheltenham will soon rival Oxford as a murder-mystery hot spot’ – Historical Novel Society

‘A vibrant voice from the dark heart of the past’ – Alison Bruce, author of the DC Goodhew novels

‘Fleet has found a tough, determined and likeable new heroine and if this is to be the start of a series, it’s well worth waiting for Eden Grey’s next case’ – Crime Review

    I really enjoyed this mix of a current crime case and past, tying in together nicely. Well written, likeable characters and some nice twists and turns in the parallel stories made this a great book to read, I loved it so much I bought the next 2 straight away. If you love crime stories with a different take on them, I’d recommend reading this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Dual timelines done right!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019
    Mystery, intrigue, wild parties with untold going’s on... this book has it all. I was hooked from the very first chapter!

    I was happily surprised at the smoothness between dual timelines. I enjoyed the main character’s in both. They were each strong relatable women fighting for survival.

    I really enjoyed the amount of time dedicated to the backstory of Eden Grey. It really helped me understand her character better. I am excited to see her develop more as the series continues!

    Thank you a NetGalley and Saphere for an advance copy for review. All opinions are my own.

    A very interesting concept. Early in the story two skeletons are found. Who they are and how how they got there are an integral part of the mystery. The author did an excellent job of integrating two timelines together that were two hundred years apart. Eden Grey is an interesting, well developed character. She is tough, smart and vulnerable.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2020
    This book featured a dual timeline which tied together very well. I like the characters of Eden and Rachel but thought Rachel’s story was disturbing. It was a cleverly written story and I enjoyed reading it.
    Many thanks to Sapere Books and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

    Jackie is an undercover police detective who goes after a drug dealer. During the operation, she is discovered and almost killed. When she recovers from the violent attack, she is unable and unwilling to continue working as a police officer. She turns to Private Investigator and takes on a new life as Eden Grey.
    This time shifting book takes place between 1795 and 2013 with the connection being the Paternoster Club. This exclusive gentleman’s club involves prostitutes, violence and greed. The club is located within Grenville House in 1795 or the exclusive private school in 2013.
    The author weaves these time periods together and interchanges the characters and the plot.
    The main character of Eden Grey is a strong and intelligent woman who is works with Aiden, an archaeologist. Together this unlikely pair figure out the murders of numerous characters and the reasoning behind these murders.
    When a burial plot is unearthed on the grounds of the exclusive school, and a client of Eden’s dies suddenly and unexpectedly, the story takes off.
    This was a good read. Once you begin, you cannot put it down. The writing is smart, and realistic. The story line and plot were believable and interesting.
    I am looking forward to reading more stories with Eden and Aiden.

    The plot was intriguing, drew me in from the start, and the characters involved were well written. I read all three books in the series, in a week, they were that good. Hoping there will be more in this series.

    The time travel from modern times to the regency period is an interesting idea. The setting for both stories is in the same place and this is possible in a country as old as England where people have been building homes and towns for over 2000 years.
    The research of the regency period was both accurate and disturbing. The strong female characters are well drawn. I look forward to further books.

    This was a really good read. It moved at a good pace, well written, good characters and some interesting twists and turns. If you are looking for a short, easy read and like mysteries then this should appeal. I enjoyed it enough that I will be reading the next in the series.
