Past Obsession

A Time Travel Thriller

By: Richard Keith Taylor

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

It's 1942 and talented young artist Emily Torrance is brutally murdered. Seventy-five years later, Jim Mercer, a reporter for the LA Times, covers a J. Paul Getty Museum showing of Emily's work and is smitten by her self-portrait. Eventually becoming obsessed with the slain artist, Mercer investigates her murder and discovers something the cops of 1942 missed: evidence of Emily's killer, but more - proof of time travel. Mercer will leap back through time to 1942 to save Emily Torrance, if she can be saved, because he's found proof his future self has already time-travelled.

Fun and thrilling

I’m always drawn to time travel stories. In order to enjoy them one must suspend all logic. So I suppose that’s why some people wouldn’t like to read/listen to them. But that’s what makes them fun.
I especially liked the setting that the story takes place. Having grown up in Southern California I recognized many references to the area. And envied the main character for experiencing LA as it once was. Before the onslaught of migration from eastern cities.
Suspend logic and enjoy a good story.

Stronger on love than Thriller but good

Very rewarding story. Desperation and thriller elements good, but love story and overcoming obstacles including some bad guys is the best part.

A modern man decides he MUST meet a woman in past

generally, I enjoyed the story, but the modern-enghtened man still spoke and acted as though he HAD to be THE ONE. He is the hero of the story, but this character flaw is never really addressed.

Great story; perfect performance

You are ready know whether or not you like time travel mysteries! This one is excellent.

Worth your time!!

Great story, very believable and hard to stop listening! I’d love to meet Emily Torrance. Sounds like a wonderful person and a wonderful artist! I feel like I know her.
