Summary

Team Weird is back causing havoc in the Time Police in this irresistible spin-off series by international best seller Jodi Taylor, author of the Chronicles of St Mary's. If you love Doctor Who, Ben Aaronovitch and Jasper Fforde, you'll love the Time Police.

The Time Police do not have problems. They have challenges.

Idiots who want to change history have always proved 'challenging'. But now temporal tourism is on the rise - highly illegal but highly lucrative. If you're prepared to take the risk.

To face down this threat the Time Police will despatch their toughest undercover agents. Which is fine until the unthinkable happens. Replacements are needed fast, and who better than three young officers who don't even look the part?

Step forward Jane, Luke and Matthew. They may be about to graduate, but there's still plenty of time for everything to go wrong. Throw in the Versailles time slip, a covert jump to ancient Egypt and a race against time itself and you've got yourself an assignment worthy of Team Weird.

It leaves you wanting more

I didn't want to like a book about the time police, yet it really draws you into that secret world. my favourite bit was Matthew explaining to Max why he needed to stay with the time police. a man of few words who uses them well

The whole series is quality fun

Absolutely loved it. Have thoroughly enjoyed ALL the St Mary's stories and went into a decline when I had listened to them all......so it was a worry that the Time Police series wouldn't scratch the itch. But it more than delivered.
Off to re-listen while I wait for the next one in October! So looking forward to it Jodi!
Also Zara Ramm is a joy to listen to. Love the way youbreaf it too, Zara!

Another great story

Message to Jodi, please write faster!! I am just loving the characters and the story lines and live how we still get a 'fix' of St Mary's I'm this new series of the Time Police. I am always gutted when I finish a book! love the narrator too, she really makes the story for me.

A rollicking good read.

I really enjoyed this second jump into Jodi's Time Police adventures. Team Weird prove themselves beyond capable in this gut wrenching storyline.

Doesn't Disappoint in any way

I was worried I wouldn't enjoy this series as much as St Mary's. Happy to report I love it and am impatient for no. 3.

Another easy listen

Another good book from the author. I always feel there could be more detail in the endings of her books but I guess that leaves the story open for the next one. This series is an easy listen and will listen to anymore that come out. Would recommend

wish I could give it more stars.

the amazing Jodi Taylor has done it again and written a great follow up to the Time Police. As usual brilliantly read by Sara Ramm. Highly recommend you read/listen to everything Jodi produces.

236 is the magic number!

Team Weird are back with bells on; time slips, illegal travellers and back to the dinosaurs - all in a day's work. I love this series and I love Zara Ramm's narration. When's the next one out?

Absolutely bloody, bollocking brilliant!!!

was slightly concerned about a second time police, wasn't sure where Jodi was going to take them - I should not have been worried; absolutely bloody bollocking, fire-trucking amazing! There had better be a third, ir my life will be sorely lacking.

Zara Ramm, is tremendous as usual.
