Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor
5.0
This review is of the Audiobook.
Just One Damned Thing After Another is Book One of the St. Mary's Chronicles. It's one of those books where those of us who have read/listened to it envy others who get to read/listen to it for the first time.
Madeleine Maxwell (Max) works for St. Mary's Historical Research Center, where they study major historical events in contemporary time (DO NOT CALL IT TIME TRAVEL). In Book One, Max is a trainee in the History Department, and learns to travel to important periods in history. Jodi Taylor always provides more than one fascinating history lesson in all of her St. Mary's books, and this book is no exception. There are also ups and downs, comedy, adventure, and tragedy. You will laugh and cry. You will not want to stop listening, and you will want to read/listen to the other books in this series, which so far has 11 books and several short stories.
Now let's talk about Zara Ramm. She is the perfect narrator for this series. She's been narrating them from the beginning (with the exception of one short story that Jodi Taylor read), and now I couldn't possibly listen to someone else read these books. Zara has made her own permanent mark on this popular series.
The premise, the storyline, and the audible performance make this an addictive series that I never want to end. If you love time travel, history, and characters that jump off the page, you will love this series as much as I do.
