A review by nanceoir
Doctor Who: Devil in the Smoke by Justin Richards

2.0

If "The Angel's Kiss" was Justin Richard's not quite successful attempt at '30s detective fiction, this novella is his really not successful attempt at Victorian... awesome whatever. The writing was distractingly verbose in a really unnatural way, and if that wasn't enough, the story was pretty boring. If I hadn't just gotten a brand new book I want to read pretty much immediately, I think I'd still be plodding my way through this.

I hope other newer Doctor Who stories are better crafted (and better written).
