An envelope addressed to Katherine Maslin stood out amongst the pile of bills. It is a notice from an attorney... the rights to her grandparents' farmhouse and adjacent property. She believes that a change will rid her of the strange dreams she's been having, wherein an oddly familiar woman visits her, begging for her help. But when Kat realizes that the woman in her dream is her dead grandmother, she begins to have doubts about moving to the farm. Rumors and nightmarish tales fill her mind, stories of the five men who lost their lives in the late 1950s to a heartless murderer. A man had been convicted, but was he the one the police had been looking for, or had he been framed? Kat is thrown backwards through time on a journey to discover a terrible truth. The ghost of her grandmother is always one step ahead of her, leading the way. But will she find the real killer before he finds her?

I enjoyed reading Taking 1960 thoroughly. It was a well written and intriguing mystery that kept me wondering until the end. The time travel and paranormal aspects of the book were absolutely well done. This was a great debut novel for this author and I definitely look forward to reading more of my fellow author's work.

I stumbled upon this book by accident and I coulnd't be happier with it. Its an exciting tale of time travel and blood ties. I can't wait for Rosa's next book to hit the shelves because the only thing that dissapointed me about this book is that it ended!
