No Time Like the Past

In the fifth installment of Jodi Taylor's beloved 'Chronicles of St Mary's' series, 'No Time Like the Past' plunges readers back into the chaotic, tea-soaked world of the Institute of Historical Research. Having barely recovered from their previous exploits, the department, led by the indomitable Madeleine 'Max' Maxwell, finds itself once again careening through history. From navigating the fiery inferno of the Great Fire of London to a perilously timed comfort break at Thermopylae that threatens to unravel the fabric of the Western world, Max and her colleagues must scramble to keep history on its proper track. However, before they can tackle these grand historical crises, they face an equally daunting, and predictably disastrous, challenge closer to home: the St Mary's Fete. True to form, life at St Mary's is anything but dull, promising a blend of historical adventure, laugh-out-loud humor, and heartfelt camaraderie that fans have come to adore, proving that even the most dedicated historians can't escape a good old-fashioned fete going horribly wrong.
