About this listen

'A great mix of British properness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun' *****

BOOK 11 IN THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S SERIES

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

I would have trusted this man with my life. Until a couple of days ago, anyway.

You know what they say - hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

Max is quite accustomed to everything going wrong. She's St Mary's, after all. Disaster is her default state. But with her family reunited and a jump to Bronze Age Crete in the works, life is getting back to normal. Well, normal for St Mary's.

And then, following one fateful night at the Tower of London, everything Max thought she knew comes crashing down around her.

Too late for plans. The worst has happened. And who can Max trust now?

Brilliant!

Another wonderful romp. I think my favourite is An Argumentation of Historians (book 9) but this runs a very close second. Such imagination! A joy to listen to. The narration is perfect - all the characters are brought to life so clearly with their traits and nuances. Just love Markham!

Twists and turns...

As ever, Jodi Taylor brilliantly describes real historical events, woven in with more personal insights into the histories and back stories of the characters. Zara Rama’s narration is lively and keeps the story fast-paced and evocative. I can’t wait to find out what happens next...

She does it again

Brilliant performance and madcap humour throughout.
The only down side for me (without giving plot away) was the cliffhangers didn't work after listening to the time police novel.
That said I loved it especially the twist at the end, didn't see that one coming up!

Loved it!

Laughed like a drain, Markham's a legend. A baddie, not saying who, gets what's coming to him as well which was very satisfying.
