About this listen

The fourth book in the best-selling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

Sometimes, surviving is all you have left.

Max and Leon are safe at last. Or so they think.

Snatched from her own world and dumped into a new one, Max is soon running for her life. Again.

From a 17th century Frost Fair to Ancient Egypt; from Pompeii to 8th century Scandinavia; Max and Leon are pursued up and down the timeline, playing a dangerous game of hide-and-seek, until finally they're forced to take refuge at St Mary's where a new danger awaits them.

Max's happily ever after is going to have to wait a while....

Where does A Trail Through Time rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

St Mary's what fun - a really enjoyable fast paced humorous series with a wonderful female lead.

Lighthearted jolly good listen

I very recently enjoyed Book 3 in this series and had high hopes that this imaginative way of telling history, as if witnessed first hand, would continue. Book 4 does have visits to historical events but is dominated by a war between the St Mary's historians and the Time Police following them on their time travels. It was more Star Wars than the illumination of history. The final battle is an interminable description of fighting and injuries that I just wanted to end. The witty dialogue that leavened Book 3 is over done and became tedious and jarring at times.
The narrator is good.

Not as good as Book 3

I wasn't sure what to expect when I began listening to the first in the series, but was soon totally enthralled! Each story in the St Mary's series is brilliant, taking us through sadness, delight, humour - leaving us breathless .. and wanting MORE!

Wonderful funny, quirky, fast-paced stories!

I really like the st Mary's stories. Zara Ramm brings the characters to life as they rocket from disaster to disaster.

A gripping narrative - the fourth St Mary’s book I’ve listened to and the story never gets tired. Brilliantly read by Zara Ramm who brings all the characters to life wonderfully.

Highly Entertaining
