Summary
Alex Kingston reads her brand-new novel featuring River Song, from the worlds of Doctor Who.
1939, New York. Private-eye Melody Malone is hired to find a stolen ruby, the Eye of Horus. The ruby might hold the secret to the location of Cleopatra's tomb - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies.
Can Melody escape the ruby's curse?
1939, New York. River Song, author of the Melody Malone mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn't believe in curses - but is she wrong?
From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally - her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together they must solve another mystery: is fiction changing into fact - or is fact changing into fiction?

Exuberant, smart, engaging.
All the things you'd expect from the redoubtable River Song, and then some! A genuinely gripping tale, woven with smooth, dark chocolate wit, intrigue and as full of sparkle as the Galerie des Glase. Encore!

Brilliant Narration
This is a proper golden age dr who story. The pacing is great, there's chaos, aliens and time travel, a mystery that keeps you guessing, and lots of fun. Alex Kingston is obviously also a brilliant narrator for her River Song story.

Alex is fantastic but ..
Loved listening to Alex, her storytelling is amazing. I did enjoy the book but did find it slightly confusing in other parts, I did get lost about the 3rd of the way through but did continue. Overall, a good listen and worth the time.
