New Reviews 1
I'm lax about checking for reviews over on amazon, not that they make it easy, not like they notify you or anything...
Anyhow, I found this new review for an old book of mine: Jekyll's Daughter. Lovely and thoughtful, so thank you very much!
5.0 out of 5 stars
A sequel done right

Henrietta doesn’t know it yet but she is the daughter of one Mister Henry Jekyll; remember him? She has profound science skills for a woman of her age and hey, it turns out she’s inherited a notebook. Guess how that turns out. Being predictable doesn’t take a jot away from Jekyll’s Daughter; a sequel done right. MK Alexander is a journalist and prolific fiction writer. His prose is smooth and seamless. He captures the fin de siècle world of Henrietta Jekyll; her brother and friends and places there a story of change, longing and the existential despair of bumping up against our limits and the limits of science. As for Mrs. Alice Hyde; she is and isn’t what you would expect. I am a big fan of the RL Stevenson masterpiece and approached this with a degree of trepidation. But I come away recommending it highly, with strong coffee, in the laboratory, at night.
