DW: The Doctor Trap

Next book in the series: The Doctor Trap, by Simon Messingham. Starts well!

The plot isn’t that complicated, the basics outlined on the back cover, and I enjoyed the simplicity. No in depth characterisations here, just introduce the situation and get on with it! Yay!

That said, it’s a bit too simple, with basically the same scene repeated a few times to pad the book out. There are a few twists, and working who exactly is who does get a little confusing (but still nicely done in some places).

As for how someone else writes Donna: Simon deals with this by writing her out! Not much of her is in this book, and what there is is rather basic, but still works.

Overall, it is a very nice light read. I’m thinking back now to how much actually happened (not much), but it was enjoyable! Skippable, but if you have the time…


Order: another book without many references to other stories... or any references! Take your pick of placement.
