Summary

TIME POLICE AUDIOBOOK 5: The new Time Police adventure from the million-copy bestselling author of THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S.

From the million-copy bestselling author of THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S.

A ghost train, lost in Time, hurtles through the night...

Two members of Team 236 are trapped on board. Not ideal under any circumstances but catastrophic when they're at each other's throats.

Hot on their heels, but never quite able to catch up, can Lt Grint and his team overcome all obstacles in their way and save their fellow officers before the train disappears for good?

Nor is TPHQ without its own problems as Matthew risks his sanity to track them through the Time Map. And a Mikey-experiment goes horribly wrong, exposing something better left concealed for all Time. What are the Time Police hiding?

And what will they do to keep their secret?

AUDIOBOOK 5 IN THE TIME POLICE SERIES

Jodi Taylor is an imaginative genius!

Fabulous contrast between harrowing asylum scenes and Grint and Jane's date. Luke copping on to his feelings. Can't wait to see how the triangle develops! A dinosaur!! Omg, another year to the next book...

I already love Zara Ramm as Maxwell, but here she effortlessly shows herself to be the voice of the time police as well.

Great story and story telling. I love the idea of taking one obscure event, weaving a story around it and yet still leaving so many threads hanging around for future books. Thank you.

Still going strong

It's rare to find an author / narrator combo that does not get tired, but with the St Mary's and now time police series we are now a significant number of releases in and the stories are still on point. Well done to both

Not the best in the series

Jodi has me laughing out loud one minute and gasping with horror the next. She is a master manipulator of emotions no question. The plot however needs a bit more work. She has ideas but to hang the whole book on the train made the whole thing feel like an extended short story- to it's detriment.
For me the splitting up of team weird (again) lessened the story and the cliff-hanger ending feels like cheating; especially as there is 2 years to the next TP story.
I was also a little disappointed by the lack of progress in the lives of the characters. The lack of momentum and character/relationship development makes me wonder if the ideas for this particular series are running out and the author is focused on newer projects.
Zara Ramm is an excellent narrator and totally brings the book to life.
Don't get me wrong this was worth a credit and an enjoyable listen but it's against the superb previous books in the series and doesn't live up to them.
Overall- 3.5 stars
narration - 5 stars
story - 3.5 stars
