About this listen

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?

Hello Sweetie

An amazing book read and written by an author that knows her characters inside and out. I have long enjoyed the works of both Alex Kingston and River Song (the best companion hands down, by far, forever, the end). I loved the lot of this book, the stories the wove themselves into a single creation (that mayhaps held the power to destroy all) was both interesting and entertaining.
Spoilers, just kidding, this is the best Doctor Who book I have read and I hope Ms. Kingston makes more. I knew she was an amazing actor and now I know she is an extremely talented writer as well.

Magnífico!

Just one question for Alex Kingston: When the next book will be released? This was perfect!
okay, I was prepared to love this book. But I was prepared like: "my favorite actor wrote a book and it's great".
I was definitely not prepared for: "my favorite AUTHOR wrote a book and it's great!
it's intriguing, and it's funny and keep you wondering what's next and wanting to reach the end but not wanting it to end. I read a lot of books this year, and this was the best without a doubt!
And I read it in hardcover while listening the audiobook! That is no other way to read it 😍😍😍😍!

And let me just point that is official, it's written! River Song knows about 13th and my heart is fully happy now 💙💙

Enjoyed this very much

I am hoping that Alex Kingston writes another Melody Malone mystery. I enjoyed this so much-there was a lovely mix of sci-fi and mystery, of futuristic and historical. Listening to River Song herself? Glorious.

What fun!

Alex Kingston is my favorite Doctor Who actor and I was delighted to see this was coming out. What fun! A wiblbly-wobbly-timey-wimey mystery. Lots of twists and turns and horrible American accents that River and we have fun with and acknowledge. I really enjoyed it!
