The Chronicles of St Mary's audiobooks in order
Historians at St Mary's Institute of Historical Research investigate the past in person, with a tea urn, a great deal of running away and a body count. Comedy with teeth; it turns dark without warning.

Which order should you listen in?
Publication order, with the short stories slotted between the novels at their release points — several are Christmas stories and some, such as The Very First Damned Thing, are prequels. The novels carry the plot; the stories are extras, and The Long and the Short of It collects the early ones if you would rather buy them once. The Time Police books are a separate spin-off series and are not listed here.
Before you buy a run: My Name Is Markham is read by Piers Wehner and The Very First Damned Thing by Jodi Taylor herself; A Perfect Storm is sold only inside the collection The Long and the Short of It.
