About this listen
A Christmas short story from the 'Queen of Time', internationally best-selling author of The Chronicles of St Mary's, Jodi Taylor.
Once again, the Toast of Time falls butter side down. Dr 'Max' Maxwell prepares for her very first Christmas away from St Mary's....
It's that most wonderful time of the year once more. But Max and Markham are a long way from St Mary's. What sort of Christmas will it be without their loved ones?
Settle down with a mince pie and a small sherry and prepare for an unlikely combination of Flying Auctions, Fabergé eggs, duped Time Police officers, the Parish Council, a TWOCed Bentley (no, not that one), legendary swords and a belligerent ram.
Will it be Peace and Goodwill to all men? Well, we all know the answer to that....

A Little Short
Having read all but two of Jodi Taylor's books and most of those at least three times, I'm obviously a huge fan.
However, having been on tenterhooks for the last couple of months waiting for this latest Chronicles of St Mary's, I'm feeling a little disappointed.
This may be unfair. To start with, I had in mind the book was full length. It wasn't until the release date, the 25th, that I discovered my mistake.
The date should have alerted me. It probably would have if the price had been set in line with other shorts in the series but for some reason it wasn't.
I could accept being charged full price for a short if the story was really good but for the first time I felt the offering was a bare minimum.
Don't get me wrong. It was ok. It's just that there wasn't much to it. It seems to me that there were numerous ways the plot could have been made more interesting and without too much extra effort.

Hit the spot
It's become a tradition to have a short St Mary's story at Christmas. However, this year's title excelled itself and managed to be a great story, with many funny bits but also giving a nod to these strange times. Loved it.

Christmas comes but once a year
Or however often you happen to travel to the correct time and place.
naked gardening with a strimmer sounds a little hazardous, only to be undertaken by the properly trained professional
