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 came across this series by chance and I am so glad I did! The first book had me so glued to the story I listened to it in one session. Each sequel has had its share of excitement, twists and adventures, but this one had me from hello, all over again.

Zara Ramm's narration has once again brought the story to life perfectly. I was delighted to learn the short stories are now available in audio too.

Well done, Ms. Taylor, as a reader all I can say is... "An honour and a privilege" -- and I can hardly wait for the next one!

This might be the best installment yet...

I love this whole series! The characters have become friends I don't get to visit nearly as often as I would like to enjoy their cheerfully snarky way of meeting every event - whether good or downright disastrous. In the midst of a very tense moment, I find myself laughing out loud at some comment by Max or one of the others. I must stop reading these books around other people; my friends are beginning to wonder about me

A Wonderful Partnership of Author and Reader!

I have loved this entire series - the adventures and intrigue with great characters! And I would listen to Zara read a phone book! No one else could make these characters come alive like Zara. This book was packed with spot on accents and lively two -three - sometimes five characters switching back and forth in conversation! Amazing and fun - a pleasure to get totally lost in their world!

I recommend this for any and everyone.

Can't wait for the next installment!

Thank you Jodi - please don't stop for a very, very long time - scratch that, ever!!!

This was the best St Mary's and Max ever!

Witty, exciting and a little bit silly. A great romp and great historical detail too.

Third time through and still dazzling

I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire series and this one was no exception. The descriptions are clear and vivid and the travels full of adventure. I love the humor, esp Max's. Zara is an excellent reader and has Max down to perfection.

Excellent
