Thyme Running Out
Panama Oxridge pb £6.99
I have been wanting to write a review of Thyme Running Out ever since I first read the hardback late last year. Now that the paperback is out, I really must get down to it. There's a problem though. I can type a string of totally honest complimentary adjectives which will not help make up a reader's mind if I don't relate them to the plot. The plot, you see, is the problem. It's almost impossible to mention any of the events in this book without giving something away. There are so many shocks and surprises that must remain secret that I daren't mention any of them. Well, perhaps a few, eh?
The book starts slowly and amusingly with Justin using his Thyme Machine to investigate the extinction of the Dodo, only to find that a baby one has hitchhiked back with him to the present. The dodo becomes an addition to the strange pets in the castle; Eliza the computer literate gorilla, Burbage, the Shakespeare quoting parrot and the eight legged cat, Tybalt.
There are also new staff members, Peregrine Knightly, the drippy nosed butler and Evelyn Garnet, the ruthless replacement nanny (for Nanny Verity is still missing). Either could be planning to steal the Thyme Machine. The action soon starts to rush along with discoveries about Mrs Kof and the new Nanny being only minor news compare with some of the most amazing revelations that ace detective Justin discloses in a Poirot scene that will have you gasping, chortling and scratching your head, all at the same time. And I haven't even mentioned the big surprise which locked up my brain for several seconds. I simple could not believe the trick that the author had played on me. If you thought Justin Thyme was tricksy, just you wait till you read Thyme Running Out. There is one sentence in the book that virtually demanded that I had to read Justin Thyme all over again.
It's ingenious and complex enough to challenge even Sherlock Holmes (and he does get a faint mention). It's amazing. It's funny. It's gripping. It's even moving. Finally, though it's difficult to believe that it could be better than Justin Thyme, it is!

To say this book is clever, spellbinding, unique and totally brilliant sounds like a whole load of superlatives but is actually only a fraction of the truth. This book - this series (see the first book, Justin Thyme) deserves to be bigger than Harry Potter. Sooner or later some major film director will pick up on it and it will be the MASSIVE international smash hit it deserves to be.
I'm not going to describe the plot, there are loads of reviews for the first book (and you do need to read them in order) that go into huge detail. What I will say is, if you have a first edition, keep it in good condition as I am convinced that one day this will be MEGA!!

The other review on this book is excellent so I shan't repeat what it says. I merely wanted to add that this book is FUN; a rollicking romp through a story that has humour, adventure and surprises. The story is an enjoyable read just as it is, but the codes to solve add a bit of spice, if you like that sort of thing. I'm not sure if I've found all the secret messages, but I'm having fun looking! Can't wait for part three - but if I have to I'm confident it will be worth it!
