http://nhw.livejournal.com/1060883.html#cutid7[return][return]Again my expectations were confounded, but not in a good way. Like Dudley's previous two-parter, Black Orchid, this brings the Doctor and companions to an English country house where they get falsely accused by the local aristocrats. But here the extra detail injected to bulk the story up to novel length really doesn't help. The early chapters have the Doctor being unkind and patronising to poor Tegan, with no hint of underlying affection between them. The one area which could have usefully been expanded, the hasty introduction of Kamelion at the end, has been left little changed. Not much good, really.
The whole book just seemed to skim the surface. I received it from a 13-year old family friend and she just loved it. Best suited for that age group.
terrible.
