What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

The sixth 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.

What if the course of history was on your shoulders?

'To do what I do - go where I go - see what I see - it's a wonderful, unique, never-to-be-taken-for-granted privilege.'

With great privilege comes great responsibility, something Max knows only too well, and as newly appointed Chief Training Officer at the St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, it's up to her to drum this guiding principle into her five new recruits.

With a training programme that includes Joan of Arc, an illegal mammoth, a duplicitous Father of History, a bombed rat, Stone Age hunters and Dick the Turd, the question everyone is asking themselves is - what could possibly go wrong?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Takes readers on a carnival ride through laughter and tears with a bit of time travel thrown in for spice

A true page-turner

I've never seen time travel handled this way. I like it

[An] appealing cast of characters... [with] with plenty of humour, lots of action, and even a touch of romance

Solid entry in the series

This book takes Max through the education of a new group of St Mary's trainees. As such, it's a bit episodic with various time periods offering chances for disaster. You learn new things about some of the continuing characters. Zara Ramm's narration as always is fantastic.

Twists and Turns and Typical Max

Great Book. Well-paced, interesting facts, likeable characters, and an overall enjoyable book. Love the series, A wonderful read.

amazing as always Ms. Taylor

Fantastic storyline, well read by Ms. Ramm. Always exciting and filled with the unexpected unlike most books of this genre. A female lead with strength and resilience will make young girls everywhere feel they can be their own Indiana Jones of sorts.

not so funny now

max is in charge of training five recruits to be historians, what could possibly go wrong?
10 years after publication, the thought of a british national having to sneak out of america via 'the canadian corridor' after the borders closed is, tragically and alarmingly, no longer a laughing matter.

Outstanding

If you are looking at this review, it is undoubtedly because you have read or listened to the first five books of the series. If you have not read them, stop what you are doing and immediately purchase Just One Damned Thing After Another. I warn you that you have many hours of enjoyment ahead of you.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong lives up to the previous books in the series. Zara Ramm's narration continues to be the ideal complement to the satirical writing style of Jodi Taylor, bringing to life wonderful and irreverent characters. Max is a true Wise Ass that is hard not to love. If you are reading or listening to this book in a public place or a library, be warned that you will likely burst out laughing, and you may get some odd looks from the people near you.
