5 stars as always for a book from Jodi Taylor, very well written and such an easy read! I'd definitely recommend.

Jodi Taylor's Time Police series just keeps getting better. Team Weird start About Time in a good place but swiftly face yet another crisis (something Commander Hay and her senior officers consider a far too regular occurence) - this time they face being torn apart from within. This is yet another fast-paced, madcap, exciting and funny book. The characters are a joy to read about and the tie ins with St Mary's are always welcome and never too much (contrary to the rest of the Time Police's opinions about those lunatics at St Mary's). Yes, there's a pacy plot in About Time but our main concern will always be about the characters - can Team Weird recover from this? Will the world's least likely romance go anywhere? And will Commander Hay ever get a catastrophe-free day?

One of my most anticipated books of 2022……and it didn’t disappoint! Ms Taylor once again sucked me back into the world of time travel and St Mary’s (yes, Max makes a cameo!) and all the madness which goes with the Time Police (again, caused by Max). I have loved seeing Team Weird evolve over the series and I’m very excited to see where they go next.

I got the eBook but also listened to the audiobook and the Zara Raam narration is absolutely perfect, as always.

Thank you for another hit, Ms Taylor. Now starts the wait for the next book…

Another Time Police novel. I've read some of the series, but not all. Perhaps this was the reason I found it a bit busy and confusing. I enjoyed the humour and imagination.

Another consistently tongue in cheek production from Jodi Taylor. Without giving anything away, the Time Police are ridiculously empathetic (who knew?) to their own people, whilst still curling a lip at anyone who gets in there way. If you like a bit of punnery and eyebrow raising humour, you'll love this.
Recommended as ever.

A new Jodi Taylor book is something I always get excited about and this one didn't disappoint. As always it's full of action, dastardly deeds, goodies becoming baddies and tender moments.
Back with the Time Police (who are no longer the enemy) and Team Weird and their chaotic lives. Bolshy Jane still keeps interfering but she doesn't really hear many voices, honestly.
Jodi's characters are so well crafted that it's like meeting old friends and finding convincing new ones along the way.
This time the dastardly Henry Plimpton has developed dramatically from the Mr Magoo type character we first met.
This book spends a lot of time along the way pulling together threads from the past. We learn a lot about the back stories of old characters and met some new ones along the way. The story has some notables high points, Grint under a wardrobe, the epilogue - about which little should be said. The disposal of bodies, the research methods for which (in the authors notes) had me laughing out loud. Even, venturing to America, which is not allowed!
Jodi Taylor is a wonderful writer, if you haven't read any of her books, I envy you because you have the joy of reading these books afresh. Series are always better read on order, but I'm sure that these are just as enjoyable read as a one off.
Thanks to NetGalley for this advance copy, please can I have the next too.

About Time by Jodi Taylor.
Patience is not a virtue known to the Time Police. And Commander Hay is facing the longest day of her life...
After their heroic efforts to safeguard the Acropolis and prevent the Paris Time-Stop, the Time Police have gone from zero to hero. Then one fateful mission to apprehend a minor criminal selling dodgy historical artefacts blows up in all their faces. An officer is attacked within TPHQ. A prisoner is murdered. And investigations are about to lead to the one place where no officer can legally tread. Worst of all, trouble is brewing for Luke, Jane and Matthew as a shocking revelation threatens to tear Team Weird apart for good.
I really enjoyed this book. Great story and characters. 5*.

I think Jodi Taylor is a genius and as I’ve read everything she’s published, so it will come as no surprise that I was delighted with this new Time Police Novel. The major problem with it, of course, is that it isn’t several million words long. Can’t Jodi write any faster than two books a year?!

The whole story takes place in one day and we follow different groups as they get up to different things, before most of the threads join together, with a few left dangling for the next in the series. This time we learn a bit more about Jane’s back story and who her parents are and what they were like, we learn a bit more about Mikey and how talented she truly is, but this novel did not move the plot very much further in terms of apprehending the main villain or solving some of the issues the last novel ended with. It is a pity there wasn’t more of a ‘catch up’ feel to it in the beginning as it’s a year since I read the last book in the series and can’t quite remember all the aspects that were solved last time. It would just be helpful. But there is still some absolutely marvellous stuff here.

A mole in the time police; Henry Plimpton, the harmless seeming grandad-type who’s actually a super baddie intent on destroying pretty much everything; Matthew ending up in a remote and terrifying place and of course, a cameo by Max, a brief one of Peterson and Leon, all make this a rip-roaring and exciting read. As always with Jodi Taylor there is laugh out loud humour that means you disturb the person lying next to you as you frantically read till past midnight. The sheer number and spread of her characters make this a fascinating book, and we’ve got to know them so well over the last few years that sometimes it might feel as though she has bitten off a bit more than she should (not can) chew! Whilst I love Max, who doesn’t? we could probably have had less on her and more on Team Weird. I’m probably slightly too invested in the lives of these imaginary people. I desperately wanted more of Callen as he’s just such an interesting and sneaky character! And what of Grint and Jane? Will they never get there?

If you are a fan of St Mary’s and The Time Police, you’ll love this book; it has everything you want: adventure, time travel, humour, adventure, a touch of romance, excitement and adventure. You won’t want to miss it. And if you’re not a fan of Jodi Taylor’s yet, what’s wrong with you?

I was given a free copy of this ebook to review. Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publish. It was an honour and a deep privilege.

Another thrilling Time Police adventure full of shocks, surprises, and shenanigans. There is precious little Team Weird time as the characters are scattered about absolutely all over the place (including St. Mary's) but there are new partnerships and relationships which deteriorate, develop, and reignite. Jodi's writing is an absolute joy and full of humour, pathos, thrills, and everything in between. This feels like a more ambitious novel than the previous adventures as the book's world expands and the focus shifts to different characters. Consequently some established favourites do fade into the background a little but there are tantalising glimpses of things that may develop in future books and I can't wait to read them! More Team Weird time would be very welcome though 😉.
