The Books of Kells Doctor Who The Eighth Doctor Adventures 404 Barnaby Edwards 9781844354788 Books
The Doctor and Tamsin find themselves outside a monastery in 1006 A.D. just about the time the Book of Kels in stolen. Yet, they're are strange goings on including creatures that live inside the Vortex.The story did start kind of slow as most of the first half is setting the stage, and revealing all these characters. The second half moves at a much quicker space as there's a great deal of mystery as to what's going on.
This was a solid pseudo historical that's held together by good atmosphere and a strong cast. While it was pretty clear who the villain who was, what his scheme was is a bit of an open question. The story ends on a tantalizing scene which ties into the larger plot arc that began back in, "Situation Vacant." Also Tamsin has some good moments in this story.
I did find early parts of the story somewhat dull. Also, I was fooled by the writer's red herring on the villain. Once I knew which Doctor Who baddie in disguise we were dealing with, that part of the story was simple. Still, this is another solid outing for the Doctor and Tamsin.

The Books of Kells Doctor Who The Eighth Doctor Adventures 404 Barnaby Edwards 9781844354788 Books Reviews
"Ireland, 1006. Strange things have been happening at the isolated Abbey of Kells disembodied voices, unexplained disappearances, sudden death. The monks whisper of imps and demons. Could the Lord of the Dead himself be stalking these hallowed cloisters?"
So states the Big Finish cover blurb. Sounds pretty good and as author Barnaby Edwards' previous NEDA 'The Beast of Orlok' was a personal favourite (a real treat that combined everything one could want from an audio drama), this was one to which I was most looking forward. . .
A few minutes in and one is wondering if this is by the same author. There is another splendid plot (though the denouement is a bit too tidy for its own good) with lots of spot on historical detail, yet it lacks the sparkle of Mr Edward's previous. Niki Wardley finds her feet in the companion role, Graeme Garden shines but the great Jim Carter is cruelly under-used and, in spite of a rather creepy opening, the story as a whole lacks tension. Not bad by any means but not a classic either.
(Oh and the two mystery reveals? Spotted them a mile off.)
