About this listen

Not one to let being banged up in Sick Bay stop her, Max has had a brilliant idea. But she needs Markham to execute it on her behalf. The subject of this cunning plan is Peterson, struggling with another bereavement and not doing very well. What’s needed to get him through it is sympathy, sensitivity, tact and understanding.

Step forward Mr Markham, for whom sympathy, sensitivity, etc., are things that happen to other people. Combine a fanatic from R&D, a head of Security with his own problems, a steam-pump, two historians who can’t even be in the same room as each other, some fractious Protestants and a large body of very dirty water. Told in Markham’s own words, this is the story of an intervention - St Mary’s style.

After listening to the first in this series 1 had to hear another a another and then another. They sucked me into a fantastic world of possibilities and adventures, all wrapped up in humorous storytelling that only Jodi Taylor's mind could portray.
Personally I love it and can't get enough of these enjoyable adventures, even the short stories are worth getting but the longer ones are by far the best.
Keep it going Jodi!

Thank you so much for another Markhamcentric story, he's such a great character and although he would deny it he has a heart of gold.

Looking forward to the next full novel in the series, I'm thinking I may have to go back to the beginning and start again soon.

Markham Rules!!

I love the St Mary's Chronicles. The books were in my Wish List for ages, but once I'd bought that first book, I couldn't get enough. Humour, horror, Sci fi, and mystery all in one series, and with one of best narrators I've heard. Characters you come to know and love (and few you'll hate!). Definitely worth a listen, but beware, the series is very addictive!

Another excellent St Mary's book
