About this listen

The ninth book in the bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

They say you shouldn't push your luck. Max gives her own luck a massive shove every day - and it's only a matter of time until luck pushes back...

January 1536 - the day of Henry VIII's infamous jousting accident. Historians from St Mary's are there in force, recording and documenting. And, arguing - obviously.

A chance meeting between Max and the Time Police leads to a plan of action. And, it's one that will have very serious consequences - especially for Max. Her private life is already more than a little rocky. But with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future there will never be a better opportunity to bring down Clive Ronan, once and for all.

From Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis - and from a medieval siege to a very nasty case of 19th century incarceration - Max is determined that this time, he will not escape.

I am addicted to the Chronicles of St Mary's. For me, this has been one of the best stories so far. I have listened to this book for two days until i finished it. Mind you, I dont read the books in the right order. I have read 4 books so far and i have particularly liked this particular one. I cannot recommend tnis series enough.

Really loved the originality of this book. All the familiar enjoyable elements plus a surprising new twist and a compelling love story.

Possibly the best so far

Nine books in and Jodi Taylor lets rip with several plot lines and some new as well as old adversaries. This probably would work as a standalone, but better to hear about all the cast and appreciate the nuances of relationships within St Mary's as well as with the Time Police and local authorities. Humour and wit abound so much I can't refrain from describing it as a rollicking read.

Zara Ramm narrates so well the characters are vivid and each has their own voice. Mood and emotion are also conveyed in her reading.

There are overlapping stories, mysteries, sticky situations and problems for Maxwell and her St Mary's colleagues to solve. Enjoyable, but at least one detail slipped the author up in her own rules being broken. The pepper spray within the lost reticule may well be seen as an anachronism. This doesn't deter me from looking forward to the next stories in the chronicles.

Maxwell does it again! Historians abound.
