really liked it

A modern day "penny dreadful" dreadful .. harkening back to Victorian England. Gabriel Utterson reprises his role as Jekyll's lawyer and reported closest friend. It's been seven years since Jekyll's mysterious "disappearance" ... and Utterson is about to assume full control of Jekyll's estate. Suddenly a man "disguised" as Dr Jekyll and another as Mr Hyde appear and take up residence in Jekyll's home. Utterson knows this is utterly absurd ... he witnessed the death of Mr Hyde ... who he knew was actually Dr Jekyll transformed. In the original "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" written by Robert Lewis Stephenson and published in 1886 Utterson investigated the strange occurrences between his friend and the evil Mr. Edward Hyde and documented their singularity. This was so well received that it has entered the common vernacular of our language .... "like Jekyll and Hyde' refers to a person of dual nature... both good and extremely evil.
In the fashion of a penny dreadful of Victorian England Anthony O'Neill spins a marvelously cerebral tale which is well plotted and documents the maddening and frustrating investigative efforts that Utterson encounters while trying to prove that this preposterous claim is false ... while many close associates of Dr Jekyll start expiring with "unfortunate accidents"

He's an imposter! - Or is he?

Set seven years after the events of the original novel, this book is an amazing continuation of events! Jekyll has returned to claim what is his, or has he? This is an edge of your seat novel. This book will leave you guessing the whole way through. Is or isn't this man who he claims to be? With everything stacked against him one man sets off to find out if he claims to be Jekyll is an imposter. This book will leave you wanting so much more and turning the pages faster than you can blink. Absolutely a new favorite of mine. I could not put this book down for a second.
