Summary
When all is lost。 When everything is ending。 When there's no hope。 When you can't win。 That's when you attack。
Punching well above their weight， Max and Markham set out to bring down a sinister organisation whose roots might be firmly embedded in the future but whose focus is the past。
Max's focus is staying alive long enough to reunite with Leon and Matthew - alternately helped and hindered by St Mary's。 Who aren't always the blessing they like to think they are。
And that's not all。 Are the effects of constantly leaping around the timeline beginning to make themselves felt？ Is Max going mad？ Or are the ghosts of the past finally catching up with her？

3 3/4 Stars: Jodi Taylor’s writing makes me laugh out loud， as always。 Her St。 Mary’s books are quirky， full of sarcasm and humor， and packed with action。 What I liked: the characters; the history lessons; the action （for the most part）。 What I didn’t like: I felt like I should have re-read the last book to try to remember all that was happening; the leaps forward and backward in time; the “to be continued” ending。 Not my favorite in the series， but still fun。

Another delightful tale from Jodi TaylorI think you may have to have a certain kind of sense of humor to enjoy the Chronicles of Saint Mary’s。 I thoroughly enjoy the tongue-in-cheek humor of the series。 This volume is more chaotic than most but just as funny and just as enthralling。

Somewhere along the line I've managed to miss out on a few of Jodi Taylor's St Mary's Chronicles which I'm rather sad about as this is a series that benefits & deserves to be read in the right order。 Not knowing how Max & Markham came to be bounty hunters didn't bother me for long as I was soon swept up in the crazy events & remembering why Max is one of my favourite literary characters！The story takes the dynamic duo to the signing of the Magna Carta， the siege of Lincoln & the Gunpowder plot s Somewhere along the line I've managed to miss out on a few of Jodi Taylor's St Mary's Chronicles which I'm rather sad about as this is a series that benefits & deserves to be read in the right order。 Not knowing how Max & Markham came to be bounty hunters didn't bother me for long as I was soon swept up in the crazy events & remembering why Max is one of my favourite literary characters！The story takes the dynamic duo to the signing of the Magna Carta， the siege of Lincoln & the Gunpowder plot seen from the perspective of those who were there。 There is a lot of violence & tea drinking。 Along with fighting a new foe Max discovers that all the jumping about History can be detrimental to your health。 We are left - as always - wondering what is going to happen next！I adored every page of this & am determined not to miss the next one。 Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book。 。。。more

Another fab instalment from St Mary’s。 I’ve read through this one very quickly， so now I have to go back and do a re read to fully absorb it。 I adore the warmth and humour that the author writes with and I feel she has genuine affection for her characters… if not my nerves as I’m left biting my nails and saying ‘just one more chapter！’ Before I turn the lights out。

Disappointing ‘cliffhanger’ ending， a weak plot， far too many in-jokes and references back to previous books， a huge cast of characters but little characterisation， and a general feeling that this series has run its course。 A great shame; I have mostly enjoyed the St Mary’s books very much， but I think it’s time Max hung up her boots。

Interestingly， the second half felt like we were finally getting somewhere。 I’ve felt the last couple of books have just been a bit … all over the place。 It’s like this one finally gets a chance to bring things a bit closer together and you start to see a pattern。 The first half wasn’t my favourite but the second half saved it。

Another Brilliant Idea happens。 Or 2 or 3 orAs always we find our intrepid heroine and her foolhardy companions， jumping about time。 Foiling dastardly plots。 And getting themselves into all sorts of trouble。 Some of it hilarious in outcomes。 Top tip。 If your male companion is hurt in any form。 Just pretend he is drunk and hoik him along， scolding ， like the put-upon wife taking him home after he's drunk his wages。 Again。 Another Brilliant Idea happens。 Or 2 or 3 orAs always we find our intrepid heroine and her foolhardy companions， jumping about time。 Foiling dastardly plots。 And getting themselves into all sorts of trouble。 Some of it hilarious in outcomes。 Top tip。 If your male companion is hurt in any form。 Just pretend he is drunk and hoik him along， scolding ， like the put-upon wife taking him home after he's drunk his wages。 Again。 。。。more

Jodi Taylor has done it againThe latest book in the Chronicles of St Mary's is the author at her best。 Max and Markham are a Dream Team and make the crazy plot work to perfection。 I had many moments of actual laughing out loud， actual tears of laughter， and startling my two senior dogs enough to start barking。 As usual， my only complaint is that I have to wait until next year for the next installment。 Jodi Taylor has done it againThe latest book in the Chronicles of St Mary's is the author at her best。 Max and Markham are a Dream Team and make the crazy plot work to perfection。 I had many moments of actual laughing out loud， actual tears of laughter， and startling my two senior dogs enough to start barking。 As usual， my only complaint is that I have to wait until next year for the next installment。 。。。more

Amazing This is another excellent addition to the series。 So much action， so much humor， wonderful characters。 I have to say the whole concept is an absolutely brilliant idea。

Brilliant！I really enjoy this series。 The author uses an amazing amount of detail in the historical details。 The character development over the years has been very well done。 The part I’m most amazed by is how deviously she has been setting up this story arc。 Thank goodness this author uses her gifts for good rather than evil。

love， love thisSo hard when all you want to do is read the book but you don’t want to finish it because now you have to wait again for the next one。 Many questions from the previous book answered， but it leaves you with a whopping cliffhanger - be warned。 Another excellent book in the series。

One of my favourite authors is back with another book in one of my favourite series。 I loved these characters。 We're on books 13 now so they're well defined and each one feels like someone you know really well。 It's a fairly big book this time and a lot if going on。 Max & Markham are continuing their bounty hunting but someone is trying to kill them。 This leads them to a bit of spying， Max gets a 'real' job and our duo end up bobbing up and down the timeline trying to stop someone trying to chan One of my favourite authors is back with another book in one of my favourite series。 I loved these characters。 We're on books 13 now so they're well defined and each one feels like someone you know really well。 It's a fairly big book this time and a lot if going on。 Max & Markham are continuing their bounty hunting but someone is trying to kill them。 This leads them to a bit of spying， Max gets a 'real' job and our duo end up bobbing up and down the timeline trying to stop someone trying to change history which leads to worrying results。 It's quite the whirlwind of a book but ultimately still as enjoyable as the others。We get a bit of a reality check on what life could be like when you're constantly going backwards and forwards in time and Max is in need of a bit of TLC。 I would have liked a bit more of the rest of St Mary's。 Max & Markham I think are most people's favourites but I do love the others too。 We end though with the gang all back together （without spoiling with the how of that） so it all ends well。 I'm intrigued where we go next。 The series has new villains which is always good。 There were always only so many books Ronan could be lead villain in。 Overall love the new book and I can't wait to see what happens next。 。。。more

I think that a review of a new Jody Taylor’s novel is for people who never met Max and Markham or travelled in time with the St。 Mary crew。 Or maybe I’m wrong and you already read her book and I’m wondering why you’re reading this instead of reading the book but who am I to discuss people’s choices？For instance， I discovered The Chronicles of St Mary's when I read an arc and fell hard for the series that is I had to go and read the rest because it was one of the best and funniest series I read i I think that a review of a new Jody Taylor’s novel is for people who never met Max and Markham or travelled in time with the St。 Mary crew。 Or maybe I’m wrong and you already read her book and I’m wondering why you’re reading this instead of reading the book but who am I to discuss people’s choices？For instance， I discovered The Chronicles of St Mary's when I read an arc and fell hard for the series that is I had to go and read the rest because it was one of the best and funniest series I read in a while。 History， time travel， quirky characters， plenty of humour and action。This is the last addition and it’s better if you read the rest of the series because it could be a bit confusing and hard to follow。 There’s a lot of jumps through the history， I laughed a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it。 Even after a lot of books Jody Taylor is able to surprise me and deliver fresh ideas。I was glad to catch with the characters and follow them in these adventures， I missed a bit Saint Mary’s but loved what I read。So go， read them， and be ready to have a lot of fun。Many thanks to Headline and Netgalley for this ARC。 All opinions are mine 。。。more

I love reading this series of books。 I've followed Max as she started her job at St Mary's， visited many many time periods， met some enemies and came up against the Time Police on numerous occasions。 I often wonder if the next book will lose steam， but this is book 13 and Max's path has veered in another direction now she has sort of left St Mary's and become a recovery agent with Markham。 We had a few new characters and I liked the freshness of this story。 This was a fairly long book and Max is I love reading this series of books。 I've followed Max as she started her job at St Mary's， visited many many time periods， met some enemies and came up against the Time Police on numerous occasions。 I often wonder if the next book will lose steam， but this is book 13 and Max's path has veered in another direction now she has sort of left St Mary's and become a recovery agent with Markham。 We had a few new characters and I liked the freshness of this story。 This was a fairly long book and Max is certainly put through the wringer。 I wasn't let down and this is a very good addition to Max's life story。 。。。more

I love this series， the author mixes it up every so often so it has never any chance of going stale。 Obviously for maximum enjoyment， and so you will actually understand what in the heck is going on （12 books is an awful lot to play catchup with） I would recommend you start from book one and read in order - not forgetting all the inbetweenies。 I only discovered this series a year or so ago and have done that myself - both reading and listening to the wonderful audio versions。 Prefer the audio to I love this series， the author mixes it up every so often so it has never any chance of going stale。 Obviously for maximum enjoyment， and so you will actually understand what in the heck is going on （12 books is an awful lot to play catchup with） I would recommend you start from book one and read in order - not forgetting all the inbetweenies。 I only discovered this series a year or so ago and have done that myself - both reading and listening to the wonderful audio versions。 Prefer the audio to reading to be honest but I read this one （in Zara's voices though！）So。。。 Max and Markham are still away from St Mary's。 Still working as "recovery agents"。 Seeking out those who abuse time and handing them over to the Time Police。 In this book， after a rather interesting raid on the farm which they are based， she travels in time （although this is definitely NOT time travel） to take a desk job in a firm which has piqued the radar of "dodgy dealings"。 So， undercover Max she becomes。 Operating in the future， their target is the past and what that target is is what Max needs to discover and then， well， stop。 It's all a bit timey wimey in the way and order that things happen so you have to have your concentration-hat firmly on your head throughout。 But， as always， the author's plotting is sublime and， well， she executes that plot with her usual aplomb。 More than that I can't say， spoilers， and cos it is all a bit interconnected and stuff。。。Suffice to say， the gang's all here and the threads eventually converge to deliver a most satisfying ending which also draws a few of the other series arcs to some form of conclusion。 See， I said you have to play catchup！ We also have a bit of history to learn， well researched as usual and bent in just the right ways to allow the story to progress。。。All in all， another winner from one of my favourite authors。 I think it's the Time Police's turn next for a new release so I am off to wait patiently for that too。。。My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book。 。。。more

The St Mary's books continue to be a reading highlight for me。 The gaps between books gives me a bit too much time to forget about some of the tertiary characters， who by book 13 have grown in number to quite a large mass。 The writing still makes me alternately laugh and fear for the heroine， which this far into a series is pretty impressive。 I'm already looking forward to the next installment。 The St Mary's books continue to be a reading highlight for me。 The gaps between books gives me a bit too much time to forget about some of the tertiary characters， who by book 13 have grown in number to quite a large mass。 The writing still makes me alternately laugh and fear for the heroine， which this far into a series is pretty impressive。 I'm already looking forward to the next installment。 。。。more
