Review of Timecrime
Dr. Joe Bedford was a bright scientist who invented a time travel machine that could only travel to the past. He aimed to use it for good, to benefit those who needed the help it promised to offer. He met Mr. Lorenzo Infanta, who convinced him to travel back in time to retrieve valuable artworks under the guise that the items would be sold and the proceeds used to benefit the needy. Unaware, Dr. Bedford fell right into a sticky crime web with a self-serving mafia boss who sold the artworks to enrich himself. After a couple of missions, Dr. Bedford learned the truth about his new boss and wanted out.
Several challenges prevented Dr. Bedford from escaping the clutches of his evil master. In one of his time traveling missions, he unintentionally left his right-hand man in the past and needed to go back for him. Will the doctor go back in time and rescue his right-hand man? Did Dr. Bedford escape from the clutches of his evil master unscathed? Timecrime by Peter Sao-Levene provides answers to these questions and more.
I liked the book’s structure. It is arranged in a logical sequence and partitioned into chapters. The language used was mostly clean, with a few instances of minor profanity. The storyline was engaging and had several unexpected yet delightful twists. Despite the occasional complexity of the time travel subject, the author used terminology that was easy to understand.
There was only one negative aspect that left me dissatisfied. In one particular scene, the narrator could not explain how traveling into the future could be coordinated with traveling to the past to avoid collisions and mishaps. Instead, he closed the topic off by stating how mind-boggling that subject is. I felt that this was a missed opportunity as the author could have tried to simplify the intricate details of time traveling for the reader.
I encountered several errors throughout the book that ranged from punctuation errors, typographical and grammatical errors. The book can benefit from a round of professional editing.
The novel ticked all the boxes for a crime thriller. It was captivating, had tantalizing elements of shocking twists, a convincing villain, a powerful protagonist, and a page-turning storyline. However, because of the errors noted above, I am deducting one star and awarding the book an overall rating of 3 out of 4 stars.
Readers who appreciate novels about time travel will delight in this novel. Readers who enjoy crime thrillers will also enjoy this book.

Time travel novels allow authors to go wild in their creativity but readers must be able to effortlessly follow the storyline.

As a reader I too expect innovative and logical explanations behind events and ideas in a sci-fi novel which if missing could be disappointing. Thanks for such a catchy review!![]()
