The third book remains my favourite still. As always, this was great. Lacking a lot in Matthew, and maybe a bit too many plots, but somehow, Jodi manages to weld it all together brilliantly. I’m a little angry at myself for reading this so quickly because now I have to wait 142 days for the next book!!

Fantastic! To recap something I said in my last review, this (wrapping in a Chronicles of St Mary’s) is a series I can’t reread because it will take me 27 years and I’ll get nothing else done, so at times I have to meditate and try to recall which bad guy is which as there are few cabbage head characters who will talk down to me in a “Previously on The Time Police…” manner.

There’s a lot to unpack about Jane and Luke that will undoubtedly continue over Christmas and into next year.

I love all of the Time Police Books, but this might be my favorite as new secrets are revealed about all three members of Team Weird. When damaging information is made known, Team Weird fractures, and two members are estranged, leaving one in the middle. A new member of the Time Police will make you smile, and as always Max makes an appearance. These books are not standalones, but you will not regret reading the first three. They are delightful.

Jodi Taylor once again gives us a time travel story filled with adventure and romance, but balanced with heartbreak, loss, and reality. The characters from The Time Police books are becoming as beloved as those from the Chronicles of St. Mary's, Jodi's first series, and favorite characters from St. Mary's do make an appearance. There is a definite parent-child theme in this book as Max and Matthew, Luke and his father, and others share amazing moments together. The revealing of secrets doesn't seem to stop, much to the delight of Taylor's readers.

I listened to the audiobook, and Zara Ramm, as always, does a masterful job with all the characters. She portrays both humorous and tragic moments with skill, leaving us laughing and crying throughout the book. She is my favorite narrator across the board.

Fans of Science Fiction and Historical fiction will love this new installment in the Time Police series.
