About this listen
Marlowe Hapworth is found dead in his locked study, killed by an unknown assailant. This is a case for the Great Detective, Madame Vastra. Rick Bellamy, bare-knuckle boxer, has the life drawn out of him by a figure dressed as an undertaker. This angers Strax the Sontaran. The Carnival of Curiosities, a collection of bizarre and fascinating sideshows and performers. This is where Jenny Flint looks for answers.
How are these things connected? And what does Orestes Milton, rich industrialist, have to do with it all? As the Doctor and Clara joint the hunt for the truth they find themselves thrust into a world where nothing and no one is what they seem....
Justin Richards' thrilling new novel stars the Twelfth Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi in the hit BBC TV series, and also features his friends Madame Vastra, Strax, and Jenny - the Paternoster Gang. It is read by Dan Starkey, who plays Strax in Doctor Who. Reading produced by Neil Gardner. Sound design by Simon Hunt. Executive producer: Michael Stevens.

Great Characterisation, Querky "Who" Dunnit
The story itself was "interesting". The sci-fi takes a while to kick in. It could simply be a Sherlock Holmes tale until some obviously alien behaviour finally happens (hard to describe without spoilers). A bit of a soppy ending they could have gone without, but a good story with all the hallmarks of Dr Who - time travel, a good mystery, overlapping stories, unexpected surprises, aliens in hiding and a bit of techno babble.
Key characters are there and easily identifiable - the Doctor, Clara, Strax, Madam Vastra, and Jenny. It was great to hear Dan Starkey (Strax) take on the characters of Dr Who (particular Peter Capaldi's Doc). He does a wonderful job representing each and maintaining voices throughout. He also brings to life another half dozen or so supporting characters. I enjoyed listening to him almost as much as David Tennant and am looking forward to him getting his teeth into another 12th Doctor novel.
The mood music was annoyingly faint in some spots (though that may be my car speakers).
I have already enjoyed listening to this a couple of time. You have those "ohhh" moments that are become so obvious when you know how it is all going to end.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
