Simple-minded but enjoyable romp

The Romance of Crime is a very simplistic but readable adventure, featuring an asteroid prison, a self-obsessed investigator, a pompous painter, a couple of intergalactic Kray caricatures, a mutant who vows to destroy all humanity, and a few Ogrons too. The 4th Doctor, Romana and K-9 ensure that this novel always has it's tongue-in-cheek, and is a perfect recreation of the TV series era. I'm normally fairly critical of novels that are content to achieve nothing more than be faithful remakes of a given period in the shows history, but this novel is so warm it's difficult not to like it.
