Product Description

Product Description

On some days, New York is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.


This was one of the other days.



Melody Malone, owner and sole employee of the Angel Detective Agency, has an unexpected caller. It's movie star Rock Railton, and he thinks someone is out to kill him. When he mentions the 'kiss of the Angel', she takes the case. Angels are Melody's business.



At the press party for Railton's latest movie, studio owner Max Kliener invites Melody to the film set of their next blockbuster. He's obviously spotted her potential, and Melody is flattered when Kliener asks her to become a star. But the cost of fame, she'll soon discover, is greater than anyone could possibly imagine.



Will Melody be able to escape Kliener's dastardly plan - before the Angels take Manhattan?

About the Author

The writer behind the fictional Melody Malone is Justin Richards, an experienced writer of Doctor Who and other children's novels.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly, not actually the book from the episode 5 Oct 2012
By Spirit Muse
Format:Kindle Edition
I was a bit disappointed to find that this is not actually the same book as the one that The Doctor and Amy are reading in the episode "The Angels Take Manhattan". It being advertised as such, and having the same cover and all, I was for the first half of the book constantly waiting for Rory to suddenly show up and the real story to kick off. But that never happened.

Instead it reads more like a prequel to the episode, establishing the character of Melody Malone in New York in a completely separate story, involving movie stars who mysteriously keep forgetting who she is. Or they may just be acting. Then again, it wouldn't be a Melody Malone Mystery if there wasn't something very sinister going on behind the curtains...

It's nice for what it is - a pulpy 1930s style mystery detective story starring Melody Malone - and quite funny in places, but I was expecting to read the actual book from the episode, detailing the adventures of Melody Malone as she meets Rory, Amy, and The Doctor and they run around Angel-infested New York, dealing with the timey-wimey-ness of the book appearing in its own story. It would have been brilliant if it had been. It leaves me wishing that it were.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvellous Melody Malone 2 Nov 2012
By pacem et amorem VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great little short read which ties in nicely with the recent Doctor Who episode 'The Angels Take Manhattan.' Providing more information about the Weeping Angels and more background on Melody/River this is sure to be a hit with Doctor Who fans. The Weeping Angels are a wonderful creation and I'll guarantee that you'll never look at statues in quite the same way after you've seen them on TV or read about them in the Doctor Who books. Certainly I thought the ending of 'Blink' was extremely creepy and designed to mess with viewers heads.
Fans of River will not be disappointed with the opportunity to follow her on a solo adventure, with the chance to see how she operates without the Doctor and to find out how she fills her time between adventures with the Time Lord in her life. I for one am hoping for more Melody/River spin-off stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars A piece of fun and worth a read 10 Oct 2012
By Tony Jones VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Once you realise this is not the actual book content from the TV episode and nor do we find out why River is in Manhattan under another pseudonym we can settle down and enjoy this short (and cheap) novella.
In classic noire style we learn of Melody Malone's encounter with the last vestiges of the East Coast film industry and have fun all the way.

There is a mild link to the TV story and what we do learn is this setting suits River down to the ground.

More please!
