“Time and Again” (NY City in the 1880s). As I recall, it included sketches from the period along with a fascinating plot

The Chronicles of St Mary’s by Jodi Taylor ( although once you’ve read them you’ll understand you’re not allowed to call them time travellers ?) They’re my favourite series, brilliant characters; lots of history, laugh out loud and a huge chunk of drama too.

YA book “Time Travelling with a Hamster” by Russ Welford. Young protagonist but rather a lot of swearing and sleazy stuff for a young book.

This was written a long time ago, but is very well done. I have been told never to lend it out because I would never get it back.

“In times like these” (series) is a favourite of mine

“Departure” isn’t exactly time travel but it does use it as part of the plot driver

“The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.” I considered quite clever in the way it was written

“Split Second” a really unique twist in time travel (What would happen if we built a device that could send an object back just a mere fraction of a second)

There’s also “The Tourist” by Robert Dickinson
But
This book is hard work
I personally loved it after listening to it the 2nd time
But do not consider this book for casual reading

It’s not a book to read if you like detective stories
It’s a book to read if you like being a detective
