BAM

Are you kidding me? This woman is dangerous.

The mis-use of mirroring exercises is common to cults. Blame yourself for trauma done to you and you’ll be happy, blissful in fact. Your abused is a god, a Buddha sent to teach you how bad you are. Horrifying.

Always fun to have Markham narrate

Revisado: 12-29-23

A classic St Mary’s Christmas caper. As for the title challenge, I counted 16. No way was I going to eat 16 mince pies, so I changed it to sips from Christmas margaritas.

Totally charming tale narrated by the magnificent Zara Ramm

Revisado: 09-28-23

After listening to the entire St Mary’s series for the sixth time, I was looking around for something new. I stated my search by narrator and came a toss this book. It is very charming, strong female lead, fun premise. I listened over two days. Already downloaded volume two.

I wish the characters were real!

Revisado: 06-26-23

Jodi Taylor’s tea-soaked disaster magnets are some of my favorite fictional characters. I wish Max and Leon would move next door to me. It’s always amazing how Jodi takes tiny little insignificant-seeming seeds from previous books and creates full storylines in later volumes, and now connects in the Time Police series timelines. I hope Lady Amelia and Pennyroyal continue to show up in both series. Zara Ramm is a brilliant narrator, as usual.

My new favorite volume

Revisado: 06-16-22

Until this volume, my favorite was #4, a Trail Through Time. I listened to this one three times in a row. The always brilliant narrator, Zara Ramm brings life to these beloved characters. It’s Jodi Taylor’s best storyline yet. Looking forward to the next one!

If you care how chores were done in the 18th century in excruciating detail, this is your book

Revisado: 01-07-22

First, I love the series. I have read them all but the last in hardbound and have listened to the entire series on audiobooks at least 6 times. After 7 long years waiting for this book, I am more than disappointed. Actually angry. I am more than halfway through this behemoth and could literally summarize the story so far in one medium-sized paragraph. I feel that Diana Gabaldon threw this rambling POS together knowing that we’d all buy it. Shame on her. Even the always excellent Davina Porter can’t breathe life into this awful book. I read an interview with DG where she said she just sent her editors snippets as they occurred to her over the last 7 years and they put the book together. She said she was looking forward to reading it for the first time. You have got to be kidding me. Save yourself 50 hours and go find reviews with spoilers.

Glad I didn’t stop after last volume’s snoozefest

Revisado: 09-03-21

I really did not like the last volume. Convoluted and slow with no real story. I debated abandoning the series but a friend recommended I stick with it. I was skeptical, but downloaded this volume. The story took off like a shot. No endless self-indulgent musings. A great listen.

Finally, Elizabeth Cage gets a sense of humor!

Revisado: 08-05-21

I love Chronicles of St Mary’s, Time Police and Frogmorton Farm series. This series, while good, lacked Jodi Taylor’s signature sense of humor and through the first 2 books and 2 narrators, seemed to struggle to find a voice, pun intended. Now with the third volume and the addition of the incomparable Zara Ramm as narrator, the story gets pace, sarcasm, humor and life. So glad I stuck with the series after the first two audiobooks.

Bad idea. Really bad idea.

Revisado: 08-28-20

I am a HUGE fan of the St Mary’s books and have probably listened to all of them, including the short stories at least 5 times each. If this had been my first exposure to these books, I would never have continued with the series. They turned Leon into a smarmy sexual harasser. Max is a flirty bimbo. Bairstow is ineffectual. Sorry, but this is just awful. Glad it was free as it saved me the trouble of returning it.

Tough going in the last third

Revisado: 06-20-20

I love this series, but almost didn’t finish this book. The only thing that kept me slogging through were the review of Book Four that say the next volume is sooooo much better. The last third of the book seems like the author was trying to win a contest to see who could cram the greatest number of gratuitous literary characters into a single chapter.
