My review:ππππ
Lies, Damned Lies and History by Jodi Taylor (The Chronicles of St Mary’s book 7) has Max pregnant. She found out at the end of the last book. She is also trying to do the right thing, and that goes so horribly wrong that people resign. And we find all of that out in the first few pages of the book! The rest of the book is about what on earth happened!
I’ve not written much in these reviews about the recurring villain, Clive Ronan. He’s a time traveller who is from the future, and was a colleague of Dr Bairstow. They were team members, along with a woman called Annie. When Annie became ill, Clive broke protocol, and Annie died in the cross fire. Clive blames Dr Bairstow, and has tried to get revenge, except Max keeps getting in the way. He is killed early in the book series in the other timeline, but as time in the books isn’t chronolocial for him, he keeps popping up.
I though this was a clever thing to do, and means each time you don’t know if he’s going to re-appear.
I’ve been enjoying these books, and find them fast paced. There are some inconsistencies, but they haven’t ruined anything for me, or taken me out of the story.
Lies, Damned Lies and History was published on 19th May 2016, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
