Overview:
An Argumentation of Historians is the ninth novel in Jodi Taylor's bestselling Chronicles of St Mary's series, a fast, funny, and fiercely inventive romp through history. Following disaster-prone historian Max and her colleagues as they investigate the past first-hand, this instalment mixes Tudor intrigue, ancient Persepolis, and a long-overdue reckoning with an old enemy. Fans of Jasper Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch will love the sharp wit, breakneck plotting, and warm found-family dynamics that have made this series a favourite with readers worldwide.

About the Book:
Max's private life is already more than a little rocky, but with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future, there may never be a better opportunity to finally bring down the elusive Clive Ronan. The trail leads St Mary's historians from the chaos of Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis, from a medieval siege to a grim spell of nineteenth-century incarceration, as Max becomes determined that this time her nemesis will not escape. Meanwhile, the wider institute is thrown into turmoil by a fresh clash with the Time Police, whose own agenda threatens to upend the delicate balance St Mary's has fought so hard to protect. As always, Taylor blends genuine historical detail with irreverent humour, letting her characters bicker, improvise, and blunder through crisis after crisis. The emotional stakes rise alongside the historical ones, as relationships are tested and loyalties are pushed to their limits. Long-time readers will relish familiar faces and deepening storylines, while pacing keeps pages turning with cliffhangers and laugh-out-loud banter. It's a satisfying entry that rewards devoted fans while delivering the chaotic charm that made the series a hit, proving history really is just one damned thing after another.
