About this listen

 The fifth book in the bestselling 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.

A Fete Worse Than Death...

The St Mary's Institute of Historical Research has finally recovered from its wounds and it's business as usual for those rascals in the History Department.

From being trapped in the Great Fire of London to an unfortunately timed comfort break at Thermopylae, which leaves the fate of the western world hanging in the balance, Max must struggle to get History back on track.

But first, they must get through the St Mary's Fete - which is sure to end badly for everyone.

Only one thing is certain, life at St Mary's is never dull!

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

Not the best in the series. More a set of short stories rather than a novel.

What a fun, mildly historical romp. Likeable characters, well narrated story and a perilous series of adventures.

Enjoyable fantasy distraction

If you know St.Mary’s, this is another great yarn- if you dont but like writers like Jasper Fforde, then this is as good a place to start as any!! Enjoy!!

Past, Present and Future- it’s another winner!
