LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLORJodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at. Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.

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

1. 3/5

   Underhållande, men inte Connie Willis nivå

   Upplägget i boken påminner väldigt mycket om Connie Willis serie av klassiker om tidsresande historiker i Cambridge (t ex "Doomsday Book"), men kommer inte upp i samma höga nivå som de böckerna. Det här är en underhållande och händelsespäckad bok som kan vara bra som avkoppling, men inte mer. Det händer oväntade saker på i stort sett varje sida, och det blir lite för mycket i min smak.
