Shroud of Sorrow is one of the best Doctor Who novels in memory... a great and worthy story for the 50th Anniversary year. -- Emrys Matthews * http://blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk *
Barber throws herself wholeheartedly into the project, vocalising sound effects such as “Flash!”, “Bang!” and “Putter, putter, chuff!” as well as providing decent imitations of Susan, the Second Doctor and Jo during flashbacks. -- Richard McGinlay * http://www.sci-fi-online.com *
