About this listen

BOOK 14 IN THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S SERIES, FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER JODI TAYLOR.

St Mary's is under investigation. Their director has been shot and Max is Number One Suspect. Can things get any worse? We all know the answer to that one.

Max needs to get away - fast - and a Brilliant Idea soon leads her to a full-scale uprising in twentieth-century China. If she can come by a historical treasure or two in the process, even better. That is, if she makes it out alive.

Then there's the small matter of Insight - the sinister organisation from the future hell bent on changing History for their own dark ends. Having successfully infiltrated their ranks, Max is perfectly placed to stop them. But she knows her cover will soon be blown - because it's already happened.

Can Max take down Insight before they come after her? The circle is closing, and only one can survive...

For fans of Terry Pratchett, Jasper Fforde, Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series and Doctor Who.

As always, I absolutely loved being back with Max and the gang. Lots of things begin tying up, and once again I am AMAZED at Jodi Taylor's skill with "the long game" and how things play out that have been gearing up so so long, and many books ago.

I just love these books so much, and Zara Ramm just does the most amazing job of bringing them to life in audio version!!

I laughed, I cried, and I'm desperately holding out for more!

Another Chaos-Fuelled Adventure!

Re listened to the entire collection prior to this book to make sure I was fully refreshed for its release.
Some fantastic tying up of loose ends with others left dangling and tantalising as always finished the book wanting more.
This book will take you on a journey, humour, despair and everything in between. Max and her fellow misfits up to their usual road to hell is paved with good intentions adventures.

Brilliant! One of the series best

Story, writing and performance, all spot on. Had me laughing out loud several times. Looking forward to more.

Fantastic as usual

I went back to the beginning in preparation for this and then when it arrived I couldn't start it, because I knew that I'd get to the end. well it's done now, I cried twice during it and I'm close now.

I suspect there will be more to come and I'll wait because these stories are amazing and they have everything.

Thank you everyone involved especially Jodi and Zara.

How am I going to survive?

This book kept me on the edge seat from start to end. As ever, marvellous characterisation aided, as ever, by the wonderful Zara Ramm. The worst thing about the whole book is that I have now finished it.

Fantastic stuff!

A fantastic story as ever and I never saw the plot twist coming! Whatever could ever happen next! Can’t wait until the next one.

Never saw it coming

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I have loved this series of books and this last instalment did not disappoint! its very rare that I listen to a book again straight after it finished but I did with this one as I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed a thing! A wonderfully written romp... enough plot and mystery to keep you totally enthralled and block out the world around you. As always Zara Ramm is AMAZING and brings every character to life! I fear this may be the very tidy end of this series for Max (Please let it not be true!) but that means hopefully there will be more Time Police books incoming!!!

please let it not be the last one!

The same ol’ story. These chronicles are as brilliant today as they were when I first discovered them. Jodi Taylor has a way of writing that I can’t get enough of. My only anxiety is that one day these wonderful Chronicles of Saint Mary’s will end. Zara Ramm has become the voice of Max for me. Well done again Ms Taylor! I’m now waiting for the next instalment. Be it the Time Police or Saint Mary’s. Soon, please?

I loved it. Again

Great instalment

Thoroughly enjoyed it. All the loose ends were tied up in the end, which makes me wonder if it is the last one in the series. I certainly hope not!

Brilliant
