Madame Vastra, the fabled Lizard Woman of Paternoster Row, knew death in many shapes and forms. But perhaps one of the most bizarre of these was death by snow....

On a cold day in December, two young boys, tired of sweeping snow from the workhouse yard, decide to build a snowman - and are confronted with a strange and grisly mystery. In horrified fascination, they watch as their snowman begins to bleed....

The search for answers to this impossible event will plunge Harry into the most hazardous - and exhilarating - adventure of his life. He will encounter a hideous troll. He will dine with a mysterious parlour maid. And he will help the Great Detective Madame Vastra save the world from the terrifying Devil in the Smoke.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This was a fun read for those out there that love Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, and Strax. I am really hopping to see more books about them or even perhaps a spin off show.

What other book might you compare Doctor Who: The Devil in the Smoke to and why?

This is a light read. Fun, entertaining, but something that even a child could listen to. I don't know exactly what other books I would compare it too.

Have you listened to any of Dan Starkey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any of Dan Starkey's other performances, but I loved his narration!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I listened to this book all in one sitting. Then I listened to it again the next day just for fun while I was cleaning the house.

Any additional comments?

I loved this fun and entertaining book!

I want more of the Great Detective!

Nice listen but could have been better, good narration. But no Doctor. It's an adventure with his friends from the 10th Doctor, A Silurian and a Sontaran.

Not Bad

Wonderful performance from Dan Starkey. The quality of the audio is very poor however.

Any additional comments?

If I had known the sound was as bad as it is I would have bought it from iTunes instead.

Great Story. Poor Audio.
