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 really appreciate Taylor taking on some editor's notes to make this instalment a bit more uplifting. There are far fewer devastating losses.
But what is happening with Cleo/Mrs Partridge lately? Her mythic qualities have totally taken a backseat. I know her character could easily offer a get-out-of-jail-free card for every difficulty, but I thought that until now Taylor had struck the right balance. I hope she returns to offering subtle nudges as well as hints of her master plan.

I loved this book as I have the others BUT please could we dispense with Ronan now?
I’m fed up with him. It’s a bit like the old tv series The Fugitive that just went on and on and on.

Another fantastic book in the series.
