My favorite companion wrote a book! Ok, so she used a pseudonym, but we all know it’s River Song. She’s a hard boiled detective for a hard boiled time, with all the sass and brass and everything you expect from her.
Melody has been hired by movie star Rock Railton, who believes that he is to be killed. Rock mentions the “kiss of the Angel,” so Melody is definitely in. She meets studio owner Max Kliener at a press party, and he says he can make her a star. She also meets Rock’s counterpart at Starlight Studios – and realizes how almost impossible it is that these people can maintain their youth and beauty as long as they have. Hmmmm.
Melody gets sucked in, but never too far – she’s always a step ahead of the game. Of course she is. And of course it’s a fun read – what else would it be, with River Song as the author?
