Summary

From the million-copy bestselling author of The Chronicles of St Mary's.

Patience is not a virtue known to the Time Police. And Commander Hay is facing the longest day of her life...

After their heroic efforts to safeguard the Acropolis and prevent the Paris Time-Stop, the Time Police have gone from zero to hero. Then one fateful mission to apprehend a minor criminal selling dodgy historical artefacts blows up in all their faces.

An officer is attacked within TPHQ. A prisoner is murdered. And investigations are about to lead to the one place where no officer can legally tread.

Worst of all, trouble is brewing for Luke, Jane and Matthew as a shocking revelation threatens to tear Team Weird apart for good.

For fans of Doctor Who, The Thursday Murder Club and Jasper Fforde.

I think my favourite TP book so far.

I have loved Jodi Taylor's books from the start. I enjoy all her books, but in the St. Mary's series I have a favourite, which is What Could Possibly Go Wrong.

I do believe this Time Police story is right up there with WCPGW.

I was snorting with laughter from the outset.

I think I scared my cats I laughed so loudly at the beginning of chapter fourteen. I'm just grateful I wasn't drinking or eating anything multiple times, because that would have been one heck of a mess to clean up.

The emotional ups and downs were there.

There was a beautifully thought out section between Luke and his father that was just *chefs kiss*.

Yes, there were threads within threads where I guessed correctly what would happen, but there were great surprises as well.

And finally we learn the answer to the question - who is the Time Police traitor?

Plus, there is some suspense worthy of the St. Mary's book where we're introduced to Jack the Ripper, only this time it's very much psychological and without the blood.

Zara Ramm is a favourite amongst many of the fans of Jodi Taylor's, and again she does an outstanding job. There are a couple of times where the accents don't quite come out right, but overall I love what she brings to the books.

So much happened in this book, it's hard to remember it all. If you love Jodi Taylor, you shouldn't be disappointed.

Loved all this series, I am heavily invested in the characters! Max and St Mary's have cameo roles. Just enjoy the escapism ♥️

not her best

for those who love all of the Time Police and st Mary's you will enjoy the usual delightful characters. the story seem to end a bit quick, too many unanswered questions and plot lines. I didn't realise I was at the last chapter until it ended. something missing here or just plenty to develop in the next book.
the characters don't seem to move on in their lives or personal development.

Great story, lovely narration

I've enjoyed Jodi Taylor's St Mary's stories and The Time Police ones are just as good with the added benefit of crossover with St Mary's - delicious

Disappointed

Having listened to all the St Mary's series this, I thought, was a natural progression..... but sadly not for me. Zara did her best but she can only do so much. Bad language is quite a feature here, silly comments by the characters and just a poor storyline. Disappointed.
