Wherever the historians go, chaos is sure to follow
Despatched to Victorian London to seek out Jack the Ripper, things go badly wrong when he finds the St Marys historians first. Stalked through the fog-shrouded streets of Whitechapel, Max is soon running for her life. Again.
And thats just the start. Max finds herself in a race against time when an old enemy is intent on destroying St Marys. An enemy willing, if necessary, to destroy History itself.
From the Hanging Gardens of Nineveh to the murder of Thomas a Becket, via an unscheduled dodo rescue mission, join the historians of St Marys as they hurtle around History on more hilarious, hair-raising escapades.

Jodi Taylor, International Woman of Mystery, spent some time working undercover for North Yorkshire County Library Service. Heavily disguised as the world's most incompetent Facilities Manager she shifted dead dogs, fell out of mobile libraries, and spent far too much time in the gents' toilets. The idea to re-write history first came to her while studying history Alevel at an evening class. Just One Damned Thing is her first novel and was originally self-published as an ebook where it was downloaded by more than 60,000 readers on Amazon.
