About this listen

Book 13 in the internationally best-selling Chronicles of St Mary's series.

For fans of Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series, Jasper Fforde and Doctor Who.

Finally—finally!—Max has that nice office job she's always wanted. The one with no heavy lifting and no one tries to kill her. Well, one out of two's not bad....

Punching well above their weight, Max and Markham set out to bring down a sinister organisation founded in the future—with a suspicious focus on the past.

Max's focus is staying alive long enough to reunite with Leon and Matthew, alternately helped and hindered by St Mary's—who aren't always the blessing they like to think they are.

But non-stop leaping around the timeline—from witnessing Magna Carta to disturbing a certain young man with a penchant for gunpowder—is beginning to take its toll. Is Max going mad? Or are the ghosts of the past finally catching up with her?

I really enjoy these books and the character of Max. She is infuriating sometimes but this is the first time she has come across as unpleasant for part of the story which made me disengage with her and the story.
Zara Ramm is excellent as always and I hope the next book will return to the infuriating but loveable Max.

Mostly good

I can’t get enough of St Mary’s and The Time Police and this was no different. I was cackling my head off in places, and I didn’t want the book to end. Jodi Taylor at her best as always.

Brilliant as always!
