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.

Jodi Taylor and Zara Ramm Do it Again!
I just finished listening to Doing Time. I was hesitant to listen as it was after all the time police. But I must say that Jodi Taylor created a wonderful and engaging new series. I have listed to everything Jodi Taylor has written. It is all so wonderful. I cannot get enough. Also Zara Ramm makes the characters come alive. I cannot image anyone else performing these characters. Love the combination of this author and this narrator. It makes a magical combination.

Great fun
Adventure, humour, great character development and history. Perfect!. Listened to this book over a couple of days as I didn't want to put it down. Cleaning, cooking, walking the dogs and storytime in bed.... Time for book 2 in the series!

Fantastic story!
One of the scariest parts of a book full of fun adventures: “and then the light flickered…”. Love this book!

Not a Fan
Lighthearted or irritating? For me it was firmly the latter. The humour in the judgy comments about life on a council estate, fat characters or the bullying and general unprofessionalism and mysogny, just exasperated me. I understand that we were to warm to the flawed characters; the three bumbling trainees were not endearing, and Luke was appalling. It was unfortunate that Jane alluded to the murder mystery part of the novel to being like Agatha Christie as this novel cannot stand up to even that fleeting comparison.
The novel did improve, the last 2/3rd of the book was better than the beginning, but this did not give anything new to the genre.
With so many high ratings I had high expectations, but this novel did not land with me. I will not be reading any more in the series.
Narration was good

The story wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be.
I really wanted to enjoy this book. I love the idea of time travel books and liked the synopsis of the book. The actual story was too slow paced and meandering. It did not live up to my expectations. For me it fell short.
