About this listen

Team Weird is back causing havoc in the Time Police in this irresistible spin-off series by international best seller Jodi Taylor, author of the Chronicles of St Mary's. If you love Doctor Who, Ben Aaronovitch and Jasper Fforde, you'll love the Time Police.

The Time Police do not have problems. They have challenges.

Idiots who want to change history have always proved 'challenging'. But now temporal tourism is on the rise - highly illegal but highly lucrative. If you're prepared to take the risk.

To face down this threat the Time Police will despatch their toughest undercover agents. Which is fine until the unthinkable happens. Replacements are needed fast, and who better than three young officers who don't even look the part?

Step forward Jane, Luke and Matthew. They may be about to graduate, but there's still plenty of time for everything to go wrong. Throw in the Versailles time slip, a covert jump to ancient Egypt and a race against time itself and you've got yourself an assignment worthy of Team Weird.

Highly addictive and hard to put down… Jodi Taylor’s dry humour is coupled with exciting time travel adventures. I highly recommend this book and the narrator is engaging and easy to listen to. All together a plus in every category !

Again, really enjoyed this sequel to Doing Time - in the second half I couldn't put it down/stop listening.
I was gripped until the very end and then bereft when it finished.
To the point where I receive a new credit in 2 days and couldn't wait that long to download the next one.
Loving the character growth and group dynamic in Team Weird and getting to know the other members of the Time Police.

Hanging For The Next Instalment

I found this rather slow to start off but I think this is because I am used to the pacing of the Saint Mary’s books which are full of craziness. The Time Police being a rather more serious organisation made it harder for me to maintain interest at first. However, once it got going it was all action.

Slow to Start But Then All Action
