Previous Story: I Went to a Marvellous Party

This is probably the first story in this series that's stood out to me. The previous two were alright but beyond the novelty of hearing River Song on audio they didn't have all that much going for them. I'll start by saying I really enjoy Samuel West here, If it wasn't for the fact that I knew they weren't going to cast a new incarnation of the Doctor in an audio spinoff then I could have genuinely believed he was the Doctor. He's great throughout this story and he has especially good chemistry with Alex Kingston. I really like the way this story plays into the framing of River's diary more, and has it be a key point in the story. I find the mystery here to be a lot more compelling than the traditional whodunnit style of the last one, it really feels like you're unravelling what's going on along with River. Above all it really feels like something Moffat could have written which is fitting considering the protagonist. This is Alex Kingston's best performance by far, but particularly when she finds out "Mr Song" has been lying to her. Overall, very good and I'm looking forward to see how this all wraps up.
