Customer Reviews

An exciting Doctor Who novel
I found this an exciting book and it moves at a quick pace. Rose and the Doctor travel back to the early 20th Century and investigate some strange going-ons. There is a killer loose and a woman called The Painted Lady who is curious about the Doctor. The characters are well described and they are strange cats who return from the dead.
Justin Richards has written a wonderful who-dunnit story.

Enjoyable
The Clockwise man is a good read and well worth it. Although a bit confusing the clockwise man is intriguing, but on the whole a bit dull compared with Justin Richards Death Collector and I felt that the end was annoyingly rushed. A good read and a decent tie-in compared to a disappointing new series of Doctor Who. Worth getting, but certainly if you don't enjoy Doctor Who then this won't be for you at all. Recommended, but there are better books out there
