BOOK 14 IN THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S SERIES, FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER JODI TAYLOR. ? ?? ?? 'Brilliant, hilarious, keeps you on your toes' Reader review 'The characters make me come back time and time again' Reader review 'I have not found another author who can tell a story involving time travel as well' Reader review ? ?? ?? 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. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT JODI TAYLOR 'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me' READER REVIEW 'Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time. Her books are a swashbuckling joyride through History' C. K. MCDONNELL 'This amazing series is anything but formulaic. Just when you think you've got to grips with everything, out comes the rug from under your feet' READER REVIEW 'Wonderfully imaginative' SFF WORLD 'Addictive. I wish St Mary's was real and I was a part of it' READER REVIEW 'Every page bubbles with energy' BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY 'St Mary's stories are the much-anticipated highlight of my year' READER REVIEW 'Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked' READER REVIEW 'A tour de force' READER REVIEW

#audiobook re-read with the kid.

We loved it.

My daughter hasn't read the Time Police books yet. Following the timeline of the characters she should start with them now. I envy her the possibility, because I read the books in order of publication.

TrishB So how should someone start with these? I brought the first 3 in the St Mary series. Probably an offer 😁 1y
julesG @TrishB That's where you should start. Time Police is introduced in book 4, but gets its own spin-off series between books 9 and 10. The spin-off series shouldn't be read before book 9 (spoilers). For me this is the perfect palate cleanser or comfort read. I see its flaws but I can ignore them. (you know me, it doesn't happen often) 1y
TheSpineView Awesome!🤩📖📚 1y
TrishB Be good to have an alternative to detective series- even though I do love them. 1y

Happy Pub Day to the 14th novel in The Chronicles of St Mary's series!

Wanted to start the day with an immersion reading/re-read, but have to wait until the US crosses the dateline for the Audible pre-order to be fulfilled. 🙄🤬

CoffeeAndABook They are SO SLOW to catch up! They‘re lagging 6-9 hours behind literally every day AND are totally unapologetic about it - those slackers 🐌 😂 (edited) 1y
julesG @CoffeeAndABook Why should they apologise? Could download the audiobook at 09:02am, as usual. 🙄🙄 1y

Signed #BookMail 🥳🥳🥳

Preordered Book 14 of The Chronicles of St Mary's series (right) - Pub Day June 22nd

Book 2 of The Time Police series (left)

I'm waiting for the fourth TP novel to be released in paperback. The shelf is nearly full. Which, by no means, means that Jodi Taylor should stop writing. 😁

The publishers granted my wish and I got a #NetGalley #ARC of the 14th novel in The Chronicles of St Mary's series. That happened while I was somewhere between #8 and #9 in my "great TCoSM re-read". I've meanwhile finished the re-read and re-read the ARC. ?

It's a different St Mary's novel, because most of it happens in the future - you know, the desk job Max took up in #13. It's also a novel that looks back at the series, ⬇️

julesG Little remarks here and there & quotes from previous books. I had the feeling this was to be the last St Mary's story ever. Circles closing, etc. And then there were three seemingly small words right before the Acknowledgements that made me sigh in relief. 2y

#CatsOfLitsy #ShadowCat #GhostCat and I are enjoying the sunny afternoon. I had to switch off the doorbell though. Seems every neighbour is getting a parcel and not answering their door in time, so the impatient people working for DHL, UPS, Amazon and Co kept ringing my door.

Nearly done with the tagged #ARC. If only there were less appointments and disturbances.

#ARCApril starting off with a wish coming true: I got the next book in the Chronicles of St Mary's series as an eARC. 🥳🥳🥳

And right when I had calmed down from my happy dance I got an email about the eARC for the next Raven, Fisher and Simpson mystery.
