About this listen
The eighth 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.
Because, my dear Max, you dance on the edge of darkness ... and I don't think it would take very much for you to dance my way.
When an old enemy appears out of nowhere with an astonishing proposition for Max - a proposition that could change everything Max is tempted. Very tempted.
With an end to an old conflict finally in sight, it looks as if St Mary's problems are over with. Can they all now live happily ever after?
As everything hangs in the balance, Max and St Mary's find themselves engulfed in tragedies worse than they could ever imagine.
Is this the end?

"Taylor has written a madcap and very funny hodgepodge of a novel whose pacing and humour is reminiscent of a Simon Pegg-Edgar Wright film." ( Booklist)
I have to admit this book made me cry.
But I couldn't stop listening until the end.
excellent

I really felt like the plot has started stagnating, the characters have plateaued and there is only so many times tat they can get into the same situations before it becomes stale.
There is so much potential for expansion still in this series but I really feel that the focus should start to move away from Max or bring in some of the other supporting characters more centrally (Markham's stand alone short is a good example of this)
Struggled to finish

Glad of the 30 second jump button.

Yay! Eilmer of Malmesbury, the flying monk, gets a mention. I'd been hoping Max and Markham my have paid him a visit one day, or at least the re-enactments they used to do.

Another amazing story

However, if you, like me, couldn’t really get into the History element of this series but as a Sci-Fi fan, enjoy the ‘Time Travel’ element, so ducked out and started reading The Time Police series before they were introduced to St Mary’s, this episode is not as distressing as it is to regular St Mary’s aficionados.
It is sad, in parts, potentially harrowing too (but scenes of war will do that)! But it’s also surprising and endearing, heartwarming and humorous!
If you’re contemplating on whether to give up or keep going - keep going! At least just for this one. You won’t be disappointed.
Easily The Best So Far

Part of the brilliance of this series is the narrator, Zara Ramm. Without her the story would not be the same.
Another great story of St Mary's
