Doctor Who: The Angel's Kiss: A Melody Malone Mystery

by Justin Richards

Overview

On some days, New York is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
This was one of the other days…

Melody Malone, owner and sole employee of the Angel Detective Agency, has an unexpected caller. It’s movie star Rock Railton, and he thinks someone is out to kill him. When he mentions the ‘kiss of the Angel’, she takes the case. Angels are Melody’s business…

At the press party for Railton’s latest movie, studio owner Max Kliener invites Melody to the film set of their next blockbuster. He’s obviously spotted her potential, and Melody is flattered when Kliener asks her to become a star. But the cost of fame, she’ll soon discover, is greater than anyone could possibly imagine.

Will Melody be able to escape Kliener’s dastardly plan – before the Angels take Manhattan?

Editorial Reviews

Narrator Alex Kingston re-creates the character she played on the BBC’s “Dr. Who.” She speaks with a learned British intonation, an approach that doesn’t work because the story involves a female detective in 1938 New York. Still, she deliciously utters the narrative, much of it suggestive, so the listener can envision her sashaying around the city and entrancing the locals. Nonetheless, while Kingston is good at what she does, the writing, with its innumerable noir clichés, gets in the way. The chief villain is such a stereotype that Kingston sounds like she’s sneering whenever her character deals with him. This is not one of the better Dr. Who spin-offs.
