A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Everyone seized the opportunity - and the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history. And so, the Time Police were formed. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs. Their success is legendary, and the Time Wars are over. But now the Time Police must fight to save a very different future - their own. This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - arguably the worst recruits in Time Police history....

Histoire
A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Histoire
Judith Potts is 77 years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper. One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. The local police don’t believe her story, so she decides to investigate for herself and is soon joined in her quest by Suzie, a salt-of-the-earth dog-walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local vicar.

Description
The first 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.
Time Travel meets History in this explosive bestselling adventure series.
'So tell me, Dr Maxwell, if the whole of History lay before you...where would you go? What would you like to witness?'
When Madeleine Maxwell is recruited by the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, she discovers the historians there don't just study the past - they revisit it.
But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And she soon discovers it's not just History she's fighting....

As expected, good enough, but not stellar.
After the author-read prequel, I was a bit skeptical about starting this series. The concept is so cool: historians getting the power to time travel and getting into a bunch of random historical timey-wimey trouble!
The book was...almost what I expected. The time travel aspect was cool, and the story made so much more sense (the prequel was written sometime after book 4, and I've since read you need to read them in publication order rather than chronological order). The narrator was FAR superior than the author, though the first-person narration made it hard to determine what was dialogue or internal thoughts. And I found that it was hard to separate characters unless there was an obvious accent as the voices weren't too dissimilar.
The plot of this book was as expected, and not high literature. There were some good surprises and plot twists, including an evil band of time travellers out to stop St. Mary's. Some good confrontations led me to want a bit more, though I was at times confused about what was happening, why, and how. It's the classic problem of a time travel plot, but seemed even less explained.
While there were many good elements of this book, I did find the lead character a bit annoying. She starts as a recruit and ends up as the senior historian - ok it's possible and makes for a good establishing of the main character - but the drama and volatility with relationships and the outcomes of events got tiring. I'd listen to the second book in the series, but it's not a high priority.

Disappointing
The narration is great, but the story itself falls short. not entirely sure how there is an entire series after this, I was barely intrigued enough to finish just the one. It's a decent premise with lots of promise in the beginning, but even being interested in history and science I felt underwhelmed. The flow of the whole story was also strange, I felt like there were many climaxes where you'd think this is where the story was going and then it didn't go that way, or it was only a minor plot point. By the time the whole thing was done I felt like I had just listened to 6 or more short stories, none of which were compelling enough to have been the main intrigue of an entire novel. I read through all the reviews before using my credit on it, it definitely sounded like I should like it. It was by no means a terrible listen, the narrator had a nice voice and brought life to it, it's just not one I would necessarily recommend.

I'd love to have drink with the author!
Rollicking fun and the Narrator was spot on. Brilliant. Moments of well built tension as well as laugh out loud bits. I listened twice back to back to make sure I caught it all. St Mary's has a new fan.

I just don’t care
There is just too much formula mixed into not enough empathy. I made it a good way through the book but when I hit the penultimate dramatic arc with time travel used to bluntly build a despised enough set of villains, I realized I just didn’t care.
I set it down and don’t imagine I’ll return.

A Fun Adventure!
This was very fun! I really enjoyed he historical and time travel aspect. The characters were great, and I really enjoyed the plot. It moved quickly, but we still had some good world building. We spent the right amount time on each plot point and it didn't feel rushed, even though so many things happened! The writing was great, and I enjoyed the humour.
Overall, a very fun read, and a great adventure . #Audible1

Just one damn thing after another
This book really is one thing after another without much let up or breathing room. It's an interesting book but the pacing needs some work. I enjoyed the narrator.
