The Chronicles of St. Mary’s series written by author Jodi Taylor consists of a total of 7 books, of which the first six have already been published between the years 2013 and 2015. The seventh novel of the series is about to be published early in the year 2016. All the novels of the series are set in a historical world and show the elements of time travel, friendship, and love. The first novel of the series was published in the year 2013 by the Accent Press publishing house. It was titled ‘Just One Damned Thing After Another’. The plot of the novel is set during the time of the eleventh century up to the period of the First World War in London. In the opening sequence of the plot of the novel, the St Mary’s Institute of Historical Research is described as ricocheting around the history of London. The staff members of the research institute are described as disaster magnets who are involved in documenting, observing, drinking tea, and avoiding the dangers of death at every point of their lives. The author has described a story based on the time travel, history, friendship, love, and tea.

The catastrophe-curve of the plot of the novel takes the readers from the 11th century London till the time of the World War I, and then from the Cretaceous Period up to the fall of the Great Library situated in Alexandria. Author Taylor has described the historical elements of the novel as the new sex. The innocuous facade of the research institute seems to be working on a different type of historical research. It appears that the institute is investigating the important events of history set in the contemporary time, which it does not consider as time travel. The staff members of the institute seem to find problems in trying to maintain the appearance of the harmless eccentrics of history as they tend to make loud explosions when the things become too quiet. Although, their aim is to observe and record the events in the history, they also try to find the answers to most of the unanswered questions of History. But, they have to deal with a number of deadly difficulties in the process. They are required to be extremely careful because if they make one wrong move, they are going to get fought back by the History, possibly to death. Soon, they discover that, it is not just History that they are fighting.

The second novel of the series was published under the title ‘A Symphony of Echoes’. It was published in the year 2013 by the Accent Press publishing house. The plot of this novel continues to follow the adventures of the tea-sodden historians of the St Mary’s Research Institute. In the opening sequence of the plot of the novel, the main character Max and her team visit the Victorian London through time travel in order to observe and document the elements of the rich history of that time. The research team of Max specifically tries to search the information related to Jack the Ripper, but instead they come across the murder of Archbishop Thomas, as the witnesses. Thomas is described as a Becket in the Canterbury Cathedral. Max and her team from the research institute also discover that the dodos make a certain grockling noise when they eat cucumber sandwiches.
