The Toast of Time by Jodi TaylorMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's time for the annual St Mary's Christmas novella, even if I am reading this in April.
Max and Markham have left St Mary's and it will be their first Christmas away from friends and family. Smallhope and Pennyroyal (or is it Pennyhope and Smallroyal?) have given them a mission, to attend a highly illegal sale of stolen objects from history and hopefully nab some time-travelling criminals in their roles as recovery agents for the Time Police. Of course the sale is taking place at St Mary's, albeit in the 1920s, there's great hilarity and the disaster magnets do their usual stuff.
I'll just randomly throw out some nuggets: smoking lady; faberge eggs; sword; the Parish Council; car theft; the security team as you never wish to see them again; more toast than you could ever imagine; a crowbar.
A lovely novella.
