A Family Affair by Jodi Taylor

I’ve read many books by Jodi Taylor and they are completely bonkers — but I absolutely love them. Her Time Police novels fling you around the world in both place and time, creating chaos wherever they land and somehow emerging unscathed every single time. They’re fast, funny and gloriously ridiculous, and this one is no exception. Hilarious.

Lady Smallhope and Pennyroyal are business partners with a secret romantic relationship, and between them they own two time machines they use as bounty hunters in the lucrative service of the Time Police. Life is already chaotic enough, but when Pennyroyal’s sister Amelia suddenly appears, he starts spending more time with her than with Lady Smallhope — until events take a dangerous turn. As ever with Jodi Taylor, the mix of time‑travel mayhem, sharp humour and emotional undercurrents makes for a wildly entertaining ride.

It’s another wildly entertaining instalment, full of the trademark chaos, sharp humour and sheer audacity that make the Time Police books such a delight. The mix of danger, romantic tension and time‑travel mayhem is as bonkers as ever, and Jodi Taylor delivers it with her usual wit and warmth. Completely mad, completely fun — and exactly what I hoped it would be.
