About this listen
It's Christmas at St Mary's and time for Max's obligatory illegal jump. On this occasion, however, they're right up against it.
A loaded gun has been left behind in Ancient Egypt and it's up to them to retrieve it before anyone accidentally blows their own head off, thus affecting the timeline for centuries to come.
And as if that's not enough, someone (Max) has inadvertently poisoned Mr Markham.
It's hot, they're running out of supplies, they can't find the gun, and it's all going horribly wrong. Again.
Readers love Jodi Taylor:
'Once in a while, I discover an author who changes everything... Jodi Taylor and her protagonista Madeleine "Max" Maxwell have seduced me'
'A great mix of British proper-ness and humour with a large dollop of historical fun'
'Addictive. I wish St Mary's was real and I was a part of it'
'Jodi Taylor has an imagination that gets me completely hooked'
'A tour de force'
Critic reviews
Takes readers on a carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice
A true page-turner
I've never seen time travel handled this way. I like it
[An] appealing cast of characters... [with] with plenty of humour, lots of action, and even a touch of romance
