European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman

fullDescription

In the sequel to the Nebula finalist The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter, Mary Jekyll and the rest of the daughters of mad scientists from literature embark on a madcap adventure across Europe to rescue another monstrous girl and stop the Alchemical Society's nefarious plans once and for all.
Mary Jekyll's life has been peaceful since she helped Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson solve the Whitechapel Murders. Beatrice Rappaccini, Catherine Moreau, Justine Frankenstein, and Mary's sister Diana Hyde have settled into the Jekyll household in London, and although they sometimes quarrel, the members of the Athena Club get along as well as any five young women with very different personalities. At least they can always rely on Mrs. Poole.

But when Mary receives a telegram that Lucinda Van Helsing has been kidnapped, the Athena Club must travel to the Austro-Hungarian Empire to rescue yet another young woman who has been subjected to horrific experimentation. Where is Lucinda, and what has Professor Van Helsing been doing to his daughter? Can Mary, Diana, Beatrice, and Justine reach her in time?

Racing against the clock to save Lucinda from certain doom, the Athena Club embarks on a madcap journey across Europe. From Paris to Vienna to Budapest, Mary and her friends must make new allies, face old enemies, and finally confront the fearsome, secretive Alchemical Society. It's time for these monstrous gentlewomen to overcome the past and create their own destinies.

     May 28, 2018
     Goss’s The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter, an exuberant, intelligent reimagining of sensational Victorian fiction, was eminently satisfying but dangled more loose threads than a housekeeper’s mending basket; Goss makes good with this double-decker follow-up and more promised to come. The “monstrous” daughters of a gaggle of notorious experimenters—Mary Jekyll and Diana Hyde, Beatrice Rappacini, Catherine Moreau, and Justine Frankenstein—have banded together as the Athena Club, dedicated to the independence of its membership and the destruction of their fathers’ nefarious schemes. The core of those schemes is the Société des Alchimistes, scientists who scorn the ethical norms of their peers. Adventure sparks when Mary receives a desperate letter from Lucinda Van Helsing: “I am... the subject of certain experiments carried out by my father.” Justine joins Mary to spearhead a rescue, and before long the entire crew are chasing from London to Vienna to Budapest on the ever-expanding quest. The series concept and execution continue to be terrific fun, but the book’s girth is unnecessarily daunting, as it’s hard to sustain a headlong rush for the length of a marathon course.

   • content: Narrator Kate Reading puts in another monstrously enjoyable performance in this Athena Club installment. Returning are all the main characters from the original--whom Reading ensures are quickly recognizable. Catherine Moreau, the main protagonist, tells the story with numerous mid-sentence interruptions from other characters: usually Diana Hyde, who is dissatisfied with her portrayal, and Mary Jekyll, the catalyst of Book 1, who is concerned that Catherine will turn off listeners with her continual promotion of that volume ("at bookshops everywhere"). Reading honors the story's mainly lighthearted and charming tone, despite it being about the attempted rescue of one Lucinda Van Helsing, daughter of the famous vampire hunter from DRACULA. Reading keeps all the subplots and associated characters spinning toward the next installment. K.W. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
