An Argumentation of Historians

The Chronicles of St. Mary's, Book 9

By: Jodi Taylor

Narrated by: Zara Ramm

Length: 12 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

The ninth 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.

They say you shouldn't push your luck. Max gives her own luck a massive shove every day - and it's only a matter of time until luck pushes back...

January 1536 - the day of Henry VIII's infamous jousting accident. Historians from St Mary's are there in force, recording and documenting. And, arguing - obviously.

A chance meeting between Max and the Time Police leads to a plan of action. And, it's one that will have very serious consequences - especially for Max. Her private life is already more than a little rocky. But with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future there will never be a better opportunity to bring down Clive Ronan, once and for all.

From Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis - and from a medieval siege to a very nasty case of 19th century incarceration - Max is determined that this time, he will not escape.

❤️ St Mary’s

I love the Chronicles of St Mary’s. With that in mind, I have a few recommendations for Max. #1: Learn Jiu Jitsu for God’s sake. Knowing that Clive Ronan and his idiots are always one step ahead and have a habit of kicking the shit out of you, learn martial arts now! #2: Stop taking off on your own. You know he always gets you when you are alone. #3: Please Jodi, throw us a bone. I am so tired of Clive winning, or at the very least, getting away with everything. Please give us something. There has to be karma for what he’s done. #4: Please bring Matthew home. Messing with children messes with our heads and considering this series could go on forever (please do) we need some happiness for Max, Leon, and Matthew. I missed the rest of the cast immensely in this book. Oh, and throwing in that bit with William really, really, really hurt. When does volume #10 come out?

Another brilliant story

I could not wait for this book to come out and this was another winner. Waiting for the next one will just kill me.

My Favorite St. Mary’s to Date

While I am getting rather tired of Clive Ronin (whose motives become more obscure with each new book), I absolutely loved this book. I loved the long stay in the 14th century, loved the character development. Loved that Max acted more adult than usual. I was sort of hoping she’d stay on there. I highly recommend this book; it’s delightful

Still maintaining interest

Zara Ramm is fantastic. manages interest without overperformance. Fun story, great to listen to. highly recommended

Best one yet!!

Quite possibly my favorite so far!!! Great story (disasters, as usual), Zara Ramm is fantastic (I can't hear Max, any other way)!

Delightful!

An especially captivating and delightful book in this wildly entertaining, and educational, series. I hope Ms. Taylor never tires of producing these gems!

Enjoying the Entire Series

Once again, a creative and addictive story. Every sequel is interesting. Jodi Taylor finds ways to weave the stories together in books that also stand alone.

Medieval Max

Love Max's long interlude in a strangely familiar medieval location. The kind of time travelogue stuff all us fans of the Chronicles of St Mary's love. The usual excellent narration and enough heft to give it that BOGO-credit feel.

Good story

I luv Max’s adventures. Great escapism, imaginative, a good listen. Narration is great is well done.

Love this series!

I really wish Amazon would turn these books into a TV show. Jody Taylor writes wonderful imaginative stories and Zara narrates with great enthusiasm that I can see Max and St Mary's in all there splendor.
