Synopsis

‘The Dead are not alone. There is something in the mist and it talks to them.’ In a remote clinic in 18th-century Italy, a lonely girl writes to her mother. She tells of pale English aristocrats and mysterious Russian nobles. She tells of intrigues and secrets, and strange faceless figures that rise from the sea. And she tells about the enigmatic Mrs Pond, who arrives with her husband and her physician. What she doesn’t tell her mother is the truth that everyone knows and no one says - that the only people who come here do so to die... A complete and unabridged reading by Clare Corbett.

Goodreads review by Lady Nerd on January 08, 2021

Oh, James Goss. I expected more from you. The story was good and atmospheric, but the plot twists were predictable and frustrating. Also, these characters were NOT Amy, Rory and the Doctor. The Doctor is basically a monster to Rory in this one, and Amy is still in love with The Doctor after marrying......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on May 15, 2011

Within the range of Doctor Who novels, this one's fantastic. Told through letters from the supporting cast and Amy Pond's memories, it details the arrival of the TARDIS crew at a mysterious clinic in 1783, where some very strange methods are being used to cure the patients. While the story itself is......more

Spooky Season, and set out quite a bit differently to the other DW books - part epistolary, part journal, part first-person POV from amy and rory. it also didn't shy away from exploring the doctor's darker side, which......more
