Booklog 1/2020: Jodi Taylor: Why is Nothing ever Simple? – Chronicles of St Mary's 10.6

Jodi Taylor's annual Christmas St Mary's short story, this time set around the battle of Bannockburn, and featuring a pair of bounty hunters, and two pairs of snipers trying to alter history. (Remember snipers always come in pairs.) It's Major Guthrie's final time jump as he retires from St Mary's and he has a bit of information, maybe a warning, about Markham for Max, which leaves us with some tantalising unresolved questions for a future book. Markham is one of my favourite characters.

This is all told from Max's point of view as usual and there are a few laugh out loud moments. Watch out for the swans.Hugely enjoyable.
