This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

This story feels like it could come right out of Season 19. It's very fun and really interesting take on the stories where the Doctor meets a historical figure, specifically one he already knows. The difference here is that Houdini acts as the villain for most of the story, which is not a twist I was expecting at all.
This is another audio story that manages to give every member of the Season 19 team an equal role. It really shows that they could have been written amazingly had enough time been given towards them originally.
Janet Fielding is an excellent narrator and captures the intonation of all the characters really well. The appearance of the 11th Doctor is fun, I like that he's getting larger appearances in the Destiny of the Doctor series as we go on.
