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?
Doctor Who The Angel Kiss A Melody Malone Mystery eBook Justin Richards
This was absolutely perfect, brilliant, sassy and so so RIVER. MY LORD, I could hear her voice when I was reading the dialogue. It was a fantastic read and I couldn't get over all of the flirting and the sass and the pure wit sprinkled throughout. Did I mention the SASS? This was exactly what I wanted in a solo River book and I am so pleased that I wasn't disappointed.I have three wishes concerning this book:
1.) I wish I could have a hard copy
2.) I wish it was longer
3.) I wish we could get an audiobook with Alex Kingston voicing it.
PS: Don't go into this expecting a recap of the episode told through the book. This is what River was doing BEFORE the episode. It's about her and her alone.
PPS: Yes, I am aware that it HAS been made into an audiobook. This review was written before the audiobook was announced and so I'm happy (understatement) my wish came true. You guys don't need to leave comments letting me know it was made into an audiobook. I purchased it the day it came out. Thanks!

Doctor Who The Angel Kiss A Melody Malone Mystery eBook Justin Richards Reviews
"The Angels Take Manhattan" -- the fifth episode from the current (seventh) season of Doctor Who -- saw longtime companions Amy and Rory bid a poignant and moving farewell to the Eleventh Doctor. Fittingly their final adventure involved one of the Doctor's most fearsome foes (in my view at any rate) -- the Weeping Angels. Only Stephen Moffat could take statuary associated with memorials and faith and give it such a deliciously sinister undertone.
Within the episode, the Doctor reads a pulp detective novel featuring hard-boiled private eye Melody Malone, a character remarkably similar in tone and style to River Song, who is later revealed to be the author. Cue the obligatory multimedia crossover, penned by frequent Who novelist Justin Richards. Richards has a good track record when it comes to capturing the voice of the Doctor in print, and he makes the transition to River-as-narrator with equal aplomb.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with River Song -- a little goes a long way in my book. To Richards's credit he does a good job bringing River to life in the 1930s, as her sass and temperament lend themselves to the female version of Sam Spade -- all hard-boiled dialogue and sarcasm. I have a special affinity for the '30s and classic Hollywood, and Richards's incorporation of the Weeping Angels into the studio star-making "machine" is inspired, a storyline I'd love to see explored in a Doctor-centric episode.
While I am admittedly not the best audience for a River Song novella, as I quickly lose patience with her character, Richards delivers a competently-executed supplement to one of the best Eleventh Doctor episodes to date. As a quick read this solid if unspectacular story suffices as an episode tie-in but falls short as it lacks the afterword promised within the episode's script. That aside, it's always fun to see the Doctor or his companions inhabit new worlds and time periods, and personally I hope that one day we get to see the Doctor inhabit the world Melody Malone's adventure introduces to him -- one filled with shadows, hard-boiled detectives, and glamorous femme fatales.
Great lead in to The Angels Take Manhattan. If you've ever wanted to see what River Song gets up to when not with the Doctor then this is for you.I see the book is getting some bad reviews and I'd just like to point out this is a prequel to The Angels Take Manhattan. Not the book the Doctor was reading. If you are not a fan of River Song don't read it. This covers where the Angel that Mr. Grayle had was before he obtained her.
ANGEL'S KISS is a quick and easy page turning mystery that embodies the classic noir feel. Told from the perspective of Melody Malone, the sole employee of Angel Detective Agency, we are taken on a whirl-wind case of mistaken and mis-taken identity.
Doctor Who is on the cover, but don't be fooled. The only Doctor you'll find here is a stark resemblance between Melody and her alter ego Dr. River Song from the classic BBC program. Also along for the ride are the Angels - the ones that have come to be the penultimate monster on said program.
ANGEL'S KISS is probably closer along the lines of a Young-Adult book in length, reading level and literary construction; but the noir-esque entendre keeps the content firmly ensconced in the mature adult section of the library.
This really was a fun book to read, especially with all the hype surrounding its link to the fifth episode of the seventh series of Doctor Who featuring a similar story line, and brief quoting from the book.
I wish I could give this book an 'excellent' or even 'life changing' rating, but I simply cant justify that; therefore, I rage this book 3 STARS OUT OF 5 based on the following system
+ poor read
++ so-so read
+++ good read
++++ excellent read
+++++ life changing read
"The Angel's Kiss" is everything I ever wanted in a solo River Song story. The sass. Her brains. The sass. Guns. The references to the Doctor and her life, which I thought were fantastic. The sass. You can tell this was deliberately hyped up in a pulp fiction manner, but the core of it is all River Song. If you're a fan of River, you're going to love this story. You can hear Alex Kingston's voice in your head as the narration goes along, and it ties in extremely well into "The Angels Take Manhattan," pretty much leading right into the first scenes of that episode. If you're not a fan of River, this story isn't going to change your mind.
Because this was a lead-in into "The Angels Take Manhattan," I doubt we'll see anymore Melody Malone stories, which is a shame. But Justin Richards, who wrote this book and a plethora of other Doctor Who stories, has proven that he can write River Song. This gives me hope that eventually they'll allow her to be in the New Series Adventures books.
This was absolutely perfect, brilliant, sassy and so so RIVER. MY LORD, I could hear her voice when I was reading the dialogue. It was a fantastic read and I couldn't get over all of the flirting and the sass and the pure wit sprinkled throughout. Did I mention the SASS? This was exactly what I wanted in a solo River book and I am so pleased that I wasn't disappointed.
I have three wishes concerning this book
1.) I wish I could have a hard copy
2.) I wish it was longer
3.) I wish we could get an audiobook with Alex Kingston voicing it.
PS Don't go into this expecting a recap of the episode told through the book. This is what River was doing BEFORE the episode. It's about her and her alone.
PPS Yes, I am aware that it HAS been made into an audiobook. This review was written before the audiobook was announced and so I'm happy (understatement) my wish came true. You guys don't need to leave comments letting me know it was made into an audiobook. I purchased it the day it came out. Thanks!
