Synopsis

Expect Christmas chaos in this year's festive short story from Jodi Taylor, set in the world of the Time Police for the first time.

It all begins when the Time Police hold their first Children's Christmas Party. Their most dangerous mission yet . . .

No good deed ever goes unpunished. Lt Grint succumbs to his softer side and soon lives to regret it. The combination of bubble universes, candy floss, a small boy, a toad named Mr Fluffy, Mount Fanboten, £6.5 million, and a love-struck Officer Lockland are all hard enough to believe, but imagine a situation so dire that only Officer Parrish can save the aforementioned Grint from a lengthy stay in prison. At least, he can - but will he?

And, most unlikely of all, has Commander Hay's long-suffering adjutant finally experienced the first faint stirrings of romance? Is such a thing even possible?

About Jodi Taylor

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLORJodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at. Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.

Goodreads review by Bonnie

Although this might not be as Christmassy as some of Jodi Taylor's other Christmas novellas, there is a children's Christmas party where Lieutenant Grint meets Simon, and that sets off a series of wild events in this charming novella. As always Jodi Taylor delivers both comedy and action in this fun......more

Goodreads review by Sara

*whispers* I didn't really like this one. It lacked the whimsy of the traditional St Mary's Christmas story, and in fact didn't really feel that Christmassy at all. I like the TP characters usually, but here they just felt a bit insubstantial - as though they're running around aimlessly in a plot tha......more

Goodreads review by Trish

Ah, these short but highly entertaining Christmas stories are always more than welcome! It's Christmas (yes, I know I'm late, sue me) and the Time Police has decided / possible been roped into giving a Christmas party complete with funny games for the children of an orphanage. It's none other than Lt......more

Goodreads review by Robin

Don't let the title fool you. This is not really a Christmas story, however it does have a Christmas party for Orphans where Grint is bombarded by orphans who much like cats found the one person in the room that liked them the least to attach on to. Wanted to build some good will with the citizens af......more

Goodreads review by Bradley

These xmastime time-travel shorts are a staple of my diet, now, and yet, this one was late! Alas! Fortunately, we still get a Tiny Tim story and a bubble universe, so all's good. :)......more
