Summary
 From the internationally bestselling author of THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S. Everyone's favourite time-travelling bounty hunters return for a whole new adventure...

With the dust finally settling after her near-fatal shooting, Lady Amelia Smallhope is looking forward to a period of rest and recuperation. A chance for her and Pennyroyal to plan their next lucrative adventure and drink margaritas in the sun.

Yeah - like that's ever going to happen.

An unexpected phone call blows everything out of the water. They've been targeted. By someone all-too familiar with Pennyroyal's murky past.

But who would dare?

There's only one way to find out - and the road ahead is dangerous. But as Smallhope likes to say...

When things are bad - make them worse.

A rollicking read. I only wish it had been longer, and that it took less time between PR and Smallhope books.

Like all books in the St Mary’s/Time Police universe, this latest installment was filled with action and adventure and the irreverent humor we love.
Hopefully there will be more from
Smallhope and Pennyroyal soon

Always a joy to listen to

Vigorous, practical and believable female characters, fabulous fast twisty plot, good visual descriptions, warmth, fun. If a book about a string of actual and attempted assassinations can be all that! Great reader with good character consistency. Every time I paused it I couldn't wait to get back to it. Nice links with the Time Police series, I read that first so I enjoyed the discoveries but this short series does stand alone. Clearly another one coming, hope I don't have to wait too long.

Feisty tale

An extension and world building of some of our favourite characters from the larger series. Keep them coming Jodie!

Another Solid Effort in the St Mary's Universe
