Synopsis

From the globally bestselling author of the Chronicles of St Mary's series, a not-so-ladylike aristocrat meets the world's most unlikely butler, and together they bring a whole new meaning to partners-in-crime...

'Clever, funny and made my heart hurt in the best way' Stephanie Butland, bestselling author of Found in a Bookshop

Meet Lady Amelia Smallhope, for whom there is no problem that can't be solved by a drink and a think.

And Pennyroyal, for whom there is no problem. Ever.

Everyone's favourite time-travelling bounty hunters. Sorry - 'recovery agents'. No bad guy they can't handle. No expense account too flexible. No rule they cannot break.

As long as they're together, the world is their oyster. And they'll always have each other, right?

Fasten your seatbelts. The timeline doesn't know what's about to hit it.

Readers can't get enough of Smallhope and Pennyroyal...

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 Sara on August 02, 2024

ARC received in exchange for an honest review. Smallhope and Pennyroyal, the mysterious time travelling bounty hunters of the St Mary's and Time Police series, are back with an origin story. I loved learning about how the pair met and came to be partners in crime, and also seeing a lot of the infamou......more

Goodreads review by Vintage on September 16, 2024

I'm a stingy witch when it comes to ratings so, hurray, a 5 star. No surprise it's Jodi Taylor. Smallhope and Pennyroyal have popped up in Taylor's ST. Mary's and Time Police series as extra spice to the broth. S & P are a combination of Jeeves & Wooster with a dash of Cole Porter sophistication, alw......more

Goodreads review by Trish on December 30, 2024

The best scene came less than 50 pages from the end. Getting to this point was a pleasure though. We all know bounty huners recovery agents Amelia Smallhope and her faithful Pennyroyal. This is how they met, where they both come from, how they lived together before and after they met the disaster mag......more

Goodreads review by Kate on August 29, 2024

I have to say I enjoyed this latest Jodi Taylor more than most of the others I've read (bear in mind I've not ventured into the Time Police series yet). Not because it is funnier - it's as much of a giggle-fest as the others, not because the storyline is better - because all Taylor's stories are cle......more

Goodreads review by Dee on January 04, 2025

I LOVE Jodi Taylor. For some reason (haven't sussed it out yet), I've been determined not to like Smallwood and Pennyroyal. Well. Color my opinion changed! I did recall each previous time we've met the duo, in the Chronicles of St. Mary's and The Time Police series as well, but she's included a hand......more
