In her deftly composed novel, Rose shows us what it would be like to have too much time, to be inextricably caught in a fourth-dimension web of love, greed, and murder that spans centuries. This epic novel marks a new level of accomplishment for the author, melding her well-honed talent for suspense and irresistible characters with a compelling historical context. Rose makes time travel believable, romantic, and terrifying. Forget CSI -- in The Reincarnationist, time is the only evidence that matters." --Robert Gray, Northshire Bookstore, Manchester Center, VT
