About this listen
Introducing The Time Police, a series by international bestselling author, Jodi Taylor - an irresistible spinoff from the much-loved Chronicles of St Mary's series. Perfect for fans of Doctor Who, Terry Pratchett and Jasper Fforde.
'The best way to describe this book: lots of fun' British Fantasy Society
'Inventive and entertaining... a fast-paced and fun first book in what promises to be an excellent new series' Culturefly
A long time ago in the future, the secret of time travel became known to all. Unsurprisingly, the world nearly ended. There will always be idiots who want to change history.
Enter the Time Police. An all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the timeline straight. At all costs.
Their success is legendary. The Time Wars are over. But now they must fight to save a very different future - their own.
This is the story of Jane, Luke and Matthew - the worst recruits in Time Police history. Or, very possibly, three young people who might change everything.

Fabulous romp - very enjoyable
Picked up this book on sale and listened along.
As a big fan of Ben Aaronovitch and Jasper Fforde - those recommendations are spot on - I loved this book.
I have not read the St Mary's books and began on this spin-off series, but I don't feel like I missed anything.
I am very attached to Team Weird now - I loved the humour and nerdy jokes.
Great writing style and excellent reading from Zara Ramm.
I agree with other reviewers that the fat-shaming scene with Mr Plimpton and his family was unnecessary, but the rest of the book was excellent.

Love it
I was initially worried a new series would take away from St Mary’s, instead it complements it beautifully. Looking forward to the next time police adventure.
Jodi Taylor, due to life challenges I thought I had forgotten how to laugh. You have helped me find my laugh and I smile often when I see something which is so in character for one of your great books.

What a gem !
This was a very cheap audio book otherwise I would never have thought to listen to it. Glad I did. Laugh out loud story line and great narrator - ready to listen to the next one in the series

Brilliant!
The Time Police from the inside! All the mayhem and humour you could wish for. Three great new characters to follow as they learn new things about themselves and the world of history. I enjoyed every bit of this and the narration was superb!

Team Weird!
Luke, Jane and Matthew all join the Time Police for their own reasons...Chaos ensues, and then St Marys gets in on the act. More chaos... It was fun seeing the TP from another angle. The only thing I found a bit odd was the Australian accent of one of the characters. I doubt the familiar Ocker twang had developed at that stage of history. But then- this isn't our world, right?
If you enjoy St Marys I would think you'll also enjoy Doing Time. I look forward to Book 2
