This was a phenomenal book, and I’m dying to read the next one. I realize the author has several ongoing series, but if you’re reading this, sir, please, PLEASE continue this one!

Funny, sweet, entertaining

Reviewed: 08-28-23

Ok, the Time Police are not normally ‘heartwarming’. Especially Grint. But this time …
It’s a sweet story with quite a bit of humor, a couple of good plot twists, and a toad named Mr. Fluffy. Definitely worth the listen.

Best one yet!

I’m happy to see the Time Police series has gotten better with each book. This one, in particular, has some good plot twists, character development, and a surprising amount of humor. Well done!

This series is making headway

I liked this one much better than
Book 1 in the series. This had better character development, a more interesting (and distressing) plot, and more humor. Looking forward to the next one.

Not a bad start, but not ideal

Reviewed: 08-17-23

I loved the St Mary’s crew (sometimes despite Max), so I was interested to see what the TP series would hold.
This first book was decent, but not great, mostly because the only character who had any real development at all was Luke, and even by the end, he was still pretty two dimensional. Also, the fact that Jane is depicted as so painfully foolish as to be unbelievable. That was hard to push through.
Hopefully that will improve as the series progresses, and I’m definitely going to read the 2nd book. The plot line and premise are good, and the narrator is great, so I’ll give it another try.

Somewhat predictable, but still good

Reviewed: 07-28-23

Let’s be honest, if you’ve made it this far in the Chronicles of St Mary’s series, most of the plot points are no surprise. Max is going to make some very foolish, impetuous decisions, and need to be rescued. Someone’s going to betray Max/St Mary’s. Someone is going to turn out to be not what they seem, usually for the better. If there’s a child involved, the storyline is going to be devastating and heartbreaking, but will eventually work out OK. There will be the usual jokes, running gags, and punchlines. It’s often predictable, but fun, familiar, and entertaining nonetheless.
I liked that there was a left turn or two in this one, rather than the same exact formula, and even some new characters. But even the predictable parts were still enjoyable. (It did feel a bit rushed, though, which hasn’t been my experience with the previous books. Maybe the editor went a bit overboard.)
Bonus points for Rosie Lee getting more involved!

The short stories are often my favorites

Reviewed: 07-27-23

I love the St Mary’s series, but by Book 8 or so, they do become a bit repetitive. This is not the case with the short stories. They’re almost always a breath of fresh air, both in content and in voice. This was one of the best, IMO, which is surprising, since I hate whodunnits. 10/10. Definitely worth the read.

This was one of the funniest St Mary’s stories yet! Also LOVE the rare instances where we get a POV that *isn’t* Max.
