About the Chronicles Of St. Mary's series

Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of St Mary's are riotous, time-travelling adventures with a big heart. At St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, a team of dangerously accident-prone historians "investigate major historical events in contemporary time" — which is to say, they travel through time, though they'll thank you not to call it that. Disaster, tea and chaos reliably ensue.

The series, narrated by the brilliant, reckless Madeleine "Max" Maxwell, blends slapstick comedy, genuine historical detail, romance and surprisingly dark turns. The mix of laugh-out-loud humour and real emotional stakes is the secret of its devoted following.

Read in order from "Just One Damned Thing After Another" — Max's relationships and St Mary's evolving saga build across the long series.
