About this listen

Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick.

When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Faberge Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is.

Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg.

She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it.

He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.

I’m a St Mary’s addict and yes, I can see similarities here - there will always be writers who latch on to the successful themes of others - but I was happy to go with that….until I heard the narrators.

Lucy Raynor makes everything sound like a garden party, with her upper-crust and soft-toned voice. There’s no fire in it, even when she’s walking naked along the bottom of a lake - don’t ask!

Alex Wyndham must have the most boring intonation on the planet. Every sentence sounds the same and, after 20 minutes I found my mind wandering.

It’s a shame, as the plot idea is interesting, but Jodi Taylor and her reader Zara Ramm do it so much better! Oh, by the way, I think the reviewer who said St Mary’s was depressing is muddling up the two series!!

Disappointing narration

Enjoyed the book but I struggled with the narrators. At certain times I had to go back and relisten as I’d zone out, more so with the female narrator.

Enjoyable story, annoying narrators

Who chose the narrators for this potentially interesting story? Both male and female are so posh, refined and elegant that it’s unlistenable. Everyone, absolutely everyone, despite many being apparently of African descent are either Russian or minor British royalty according to their accents. What could have been a funny, fast moving St Mary’s Chronicles rip off is just awful. Giving up now after chapter 5 as can’t stand the voices

Bored posh narrators
