Doing Time by Jodi Taylor

I will never post spoilers. These types of posts will just be general what am I reading/what did I think of it type of reviews.

Book Summary

Introducing The Time Police, the brand-new series by international bestselling author, Jodi Taylor – an irresistible spinoff from the much-loved Chronicles of St Mary’s series. Perfect reading for fans of Doctor Who, Ben Aaronovitch and Jasper Fforde.

At some time in the future, the secret of time-travel became available to all. Chaos ensued as people sought to take advantage. Because there will always be nutters who want to change history…

And so the Time Police were formed. Internationally sanctioned thugs whose task it was to keep the timeline straight by any and all means possible. And they succeeded. The Time Wars are over. The Time Police won. But who will win the peace?

Doing Time follows three hapless new Time Police recruits – Jane, Luke and Matthew – as they try to navigate their first year on the beat. It’s all going to be fine. Obviously.

What did I think?

I really wanted to like it, but I just didn’t. The writing was fine, the characters were fine, I just didn’t love the story. I am going to try The Chronicles of St Mary’s Series (Goodreads Link), also by Taylor and set in the same world, because I think I will enjoy the story more.
