Not one to let being banged up in Sick Bay stop her, Max has had a brilliant idea. But she needs Markham to execute it on her behalf. The subject of this cunning plan is Peterson, struggling with another bereavement and not doing very well. What’s needed to get him through it is sympathy, sensitivity, tact and understanding.

Step forward Mr Markham, for whom sympathy, sensitivity, etc., are things that happen to other people. Combine a fanatic from R&D, a head of Security with his own problems, a steam-pump, two historians who can’t even be in the same room as each other, some fractious Protestants and a large body of very dirty water. Told in Markham’s own words, this is the story of an intervention - St Mary’s style.

Seriously, I downloaded this after a particularly trying week and laughed for the duration. The stories are wonderful. Zara Ramm is amazing at voicing all of the characters. Love all the Marcum oriented tales. Can't wait for Christmas and another story then, hopefully next spring, for #10. Thank you, Jodi Taylor for these characters and break from my reality to join theirs!

I love these stories!!

As a huge fan of the St Mary's series (and pretty much everything Jodi Taylor writes) this was a little morsel to feed my addiction. Love any story told by Markham, and though we don't see much of Max here at least the terrible cliffhanger that "Argumentation" left us with is resolved. I really loved seeing the dynamic of Markham & Max taking care of Peterson & look forward to the results of their intervention. And Zara Ramm is fabulous as always-she really is the voice of St. Mary's! One happy customer here, now just anxiously awaiting the next full length book!

More St. Mary's please!

If you have not read a St. Mary's story. I envy you. Not a bad one in the bunch. Fun characters, great dialogue, the Audible narrstions are superb. These are my kind of folks - weird, screwy, playful, dedicated and more real than most who are breathing

Jodi Taylor is a treasure.

Such a lovely surprise to have another story from Marcum’s point of view. It leaves you wondering. I can’t wait to learn more about this most interesting character!

Love Marcum!!

A light humored interlude in the St Mary’s Chronicles. Zara Ramm does her usual excellent job of bringing characters to life especially Markham’s west country drawl.

Humorous & heartwarming

I can't say this enough. I love this series. The characters are really interesting and wonderful. Zara Ramm does a spectacular job. Jodi Taylor helps. If not for her writing where would I be?

Really funny

I just adore this entire series and the short stories are no exception. This time, Lingos is excited to be off to see a demonstration of a steam pump, and of course...what could possibly go wrong?! As always, looking forward to the next installment in the chronicles!

Such fun!

This is a delightful segue between some heavier plot lines. Narration is superb, as usual, thank you Zara Ramm.
