About this listen

The tenth 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.

You can't change History. History doesn't like it. There are always consequences.

Max is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands. Especially when she's had A Brilliant Idea. Yes, it will mean breaking a few rules, but - as Max always says - they're not her rules.

Seconded to the Time Police to join in the hunt for the renegade Clive Ronan, Max is a long way from St Mary's. But life in the future does have its plus points - although not for long.

A problem with the Time Map reveals chaos in the 16th century and the wrong Tudor queen on the throne. History has gone rogue, there's a St Mary's team right in the firing line and Max must step up.

You know what they say. Hope for the best. But plan for the worst.

The last couple weren't to my liking so much, but this one is really quite good. I love the narration and this story was entertaining.

Stunning and heartbreaking. Just the amount of calculating creativity I’ve come to love from this author. And the performance is .. breathtaking and heartfelt.

I absolutely love these books and the narration by Zara is excellent.
I laugh so often listening to these books as Max is such a wonderful character.
I just wish we could lose Clive Ronan. I’m fed up with him.

Another wonderful story by Jodi

It's been too long (not that time matters of course) but it's been worth the wait. Everything we have come to expect and hope for - and then some. Just wonderful.

They've done it again.......!

I am actually growing a bit tired of the Cretaceous period - now there's a sentence I never thought I would ever write. Still, this was a very enjoyable tale; at least I know my money will be well spent and I won't be begging the Audible police to let me return another unwise purchase. Jodi Taylor never dissapoints.

Zara Ramm, as always, is sublime.

Not my favourite St Mary's adventure but v good.

As usual, exciting, heart stopping, emotional, hilariously funny, edge of seat adventures from the St Mary's crew. Poor old TP......again

Bloomin marvelous
