Such fun reading! Mary Jekyll begins investigating the truth of her father's death when she was a child after her mother (who she has cared for in her insanity for years) passes away and she discovers documents that lead her to question everything. The characters we meet along the way include Holmes, Watson, the daughters of Moreau, Hyde,Rappacini and Frankenstein. There are plenty of other characters readers will know, as well. I was hesitant at first since the story is being told by Catherine Moreau with interjections by Mary and the others frequently but as we come to know these characters and they come together, it becomes endearing. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
