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!
I'm giving up on these books. The things I like about it the overarching story are outweighed by my dislike for the author's writing style at this point and I'm just not interested in waging this war on me trying to overlook the things I hate.
I loved the book. But there's an enormous plot hole.
Sands is hit over the head and unconscious with a head wound and Max just never questions it? They just go one to rescue the others and when they find Schiller missing they still don't question it? Even once they're back no one ever talks about that. The pod Sands was in must've also had cameras. How did no one think to check what happened to Sands and how he acquired a head wound? How was no one suspicious?
This series always reminds me that I need more tea, which nearly as good a thing as the writing itself.
