Doctor Who: Shroud of Sorrow

by Tommy Donbavand (BBC, 2013); audiobook read by Frances Barber

Although Donbavand captures the Eleventh Doctor’s quick-fire whimsy very well, he rather lingers upon it, which in book (and especially audiobook) form robs the story of tension. Barber’s narration is fine but her JFK Dallas accents sound gratingly like the wild west.
