Review: Doctor Who: The Death Pit

Title: Doctor Who: The Death Pit (Time Trips)

Author: A.L. Kennedy

Genre: Fantasy, T.V., Novella

Published: December 5, 2013

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Something was going wrong on a golf course. People were disappearing and no one was really noticing when The Doctor showed up.

I thought the author was able to capture the humor and floppy whimsy of the fourth doctor. I was surprised he didn't actually show up in the story until page twelve and then it was only for a few paragraphs. He didn't reappear for another seven pages. Considering how short the story was I thought it was weird he was not in it for almost a third of the book.

The climax and resolution were both a little abrupt and I am not entirely sure the problem was really solved. Also there were plot points brought up throughout the story that were not completely explained. The story felt incomplete.
