About this listen
Anyone can track down a priceless artefact that's been lost for hundreds of years. Finding one that's been hidden on a parallel Earth . . . now that's a neat trick.
When Neith Salah—a quantum curator charged with traveling to our parallel Earth to rescue precious artefacts—is ordered to save a priceless Faberge Egg, she figures it's just another job. The only problem: she's not sure what the egg looks like. Or where it is. Or when it is.
Enter Julius Strathclyde, a mild-mannered Cambridge professor whose closest brush with death-defying treasure hunts is finding lost coins down the back of the sofa. Not the usual "save the world" type, but when Julius' best friend is murdered while searching for the egg, Neith realizes that this mild-mannered professor is the only person who can help her solve the riddles that will lead her to the egg.
She just has to keep him alive long enough to do it.
He's got the fountain pens. She's got the guns. They'll just have to hope that's enough to keep them ahead of the Russian Mafia, unknown assassins, and perhaps even other quantum curators who want the egg for their own dark purposes . . . and may not be picky about who they have to kill to get it.

great story, looking forward to the next
Lucy Raynor is a great narrator and makes for an enjoyable listen of this great story. The male narrator is harder to settle into, but you do eventually.
looking forward to the next book in this series.

Enjoyable story, annoying narrators
Enjoyed the book but I struggled with the narrators. At certain times I had to go back and relisten as I’d zone out, more so with the female narrator.

Disappointing narration
I’m a St Mary’s addict and yes, I can see similarities here - there will always be writers who latch on to the successful themes of others - but I was happy to go with that….until I heard the narrators.
Lucy Raynor makes everything sound like a garden party, with her upper-crust and soft-toned voice. There’s no fire in it, even when she’s walking naked along the bottom of a lake - don’t ask!
Alex Wyndham must have the most boring intonation on the planet. Every sentence sounds the same and, after 20 minutes I found my mind wandering.
It’s a shame, as the plot idea is interesting, but Jodi Taylor and her reader Zara Ramm do it so much better! Oh, by the way, I think the reviewer who said St Mary’s was depressing is muddling up the two series!!

A brilliant mix of history as we know it and what could have happened, with intrigue & humourfor good measure
Loved listening to both fabulous narrators. The world the author has created is intriguing as are the characters and chemistry between them. Can’t wait to listen to the next one!!

Totally spoiled by narration
Although I was enjoying the story, I’m afraid I had to stop listening halfway through as the female narrator, with her bizarre intonation, made it unlistenable. I suppose it just illustrates how important it is to get someone to actually “act” a narrative rather than just read it out. This narration was *so* bad, though, that I definitely won’t be listening to any of the other books in this series.

narrators just not right
the story was really good but the narrators sound like they are reading as an aloof 1920s spy, the book deserves more than this, the characters needed a bit more depth read out of their lines

Good story, dreadful narration
The book isn’t high literature but it is fun and easy to read. I often get the audible alongside a book so I can carry on with a story while doing chores. In this case I just couldn’t bear the narration and resorted to Alexa reading it to me instead.

Narration very strange and distracted!
The story was OK, very reminiscent of Chronicles of St Mary's but not a patch on them. The most distracting issue was the narrator for Neith, the female character. The narrator seemed fine for other characters but the chosen 'voice' for Neith was extremely odd, like someone trying to advertise a product! Other than that, it was generally an OK listen.

Narrators not good, agree fully with other reviews
Disliked narrators, The story would have been good otherwise. This could have been good fun read by for example the lady who reads Jodi Foster's St Mary's books. The idea here v similar.
