About this listen

Max is back! New husband, new job, and a training regime that cannot fail - to go wrong!

Take one interim chief training officer, add five recruits, mix with Joan of Arc, a baby mammoth, a duplicitous father of history, a bombed rat, Stone Age hunters, a couple of passing policemen who should have better things to do, and Dick the Turd. Stir well, bring to the boil and wait for the bang!

Join Max in the sixth instalment in the off-the-wall Chronicles of St Mary's series.

Critic reviews

"[Narrator Zara] Ramm wears her characters' voices like old friends, smoothly dipping into blunt East End accents and coarser tones for the gentlemen." ( AudioFile)
All stars

Edge of seat drama with a huge side order of wit and a sprinkling of pathos.

Stunning as always.

And the narrator's voice is convincing. only 4 stars for performance because I noticed the occasional mispronounced word.

A great story

This book and the last feel like they've changed tack a little, in a good way. Max is growing into her relationship with Leon and it's making for much more interesting reading than them just fighting and splitting up, to just get back together again.

St Mary's is moving forward and there are still the larger story arcs in progress, but it's still got the humour and intimate side to it.

Great writing, great narration, great series.

Loving it

- gorey chapters with gruesome characters plucked from history and new trainees plus the usual suspects- best listen to it for yourself...

Superb

Another excellent installment, full of comedy, tragedy and lunacy. Only Jodi Taylor would take us from Victorian Clifton to Bosworth field in one chapter. I have loved all of her books so far. Zara Ramm's narration makes everything perfect.

Excellent, loved it

I hate to admit this, but the chronicles of st Mary’s are my go to series when I’m in a book funk.

It never fails to make me chuckle and enjoy it.

I go & come back and laugh all the more

Would you consider the audio edition of What Could Possibly Go Wrong? to be better than the print version?

Oh yes Zara brings the whole thing to life. I loved this story, I was crying with laughter at several points in the narration.

What other book might you compare What Could Possibly Go Wrong? to, and why?

All the series are brilliant. I am waiting on another one I hope. I also have read the Benedict Jacka series and also the Ben Aaronovitch series. All three are brilliant. Audible please record more in this genre.

Have you listened to any of Zara Ramm’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes she is great to listen to

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Crying with laughter at a lot of it. It is brilliantly written

Brilliant

I absolutely love this series - this book is more of a return to the kind of dynamic seen in the 1st few books. We also get a few new characters courtesy of Max's trainees. Full of humour , action and suspense as ever. Keep them coming !

Love it

What made the experience of listening to What Could Possibly Go Wrong? the most enjoyable?

Why tempt fate, hey? The people of St Mary's should know better than to ask - rather frequently - 'what could possibly go wrong?'
Max and Peterson and Markham travelling through time and lying to members of two police forces while observing history and righting wrongs.
This is yet another wonderful adventure filled with comic moments, it's fair share of tragedy and the ending...well, let's just say I suspected what was confirmed in the end.
Long live St Mary's!

What did you like best about this story?

The ending. Can't say more than that for fear of ruining it

Which character – as performed by Zara Ramm – was your favourite?

She brings the characters to life every time
