À propos de cet audio

A spellbinding thriller from the bestselling author of The Einstein Prophecy.

A chilling curse is transported from 1880s London to present-day California, awakening a long-dormant fiend.

While on routine patrol in the tinder-dry Topanga Canyon, environmental scientist Rafael Salazar expects to find animal poachers, not a dilapidated antique steamer trunk. Inside the peculiar case, he discovers a journal, written by the renowned Robert Louis Stevenson, which divulges ominous particulars about his creation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It also promises to reveal a terrible secret - the identity of Jack the Ripper.

Unfortunately, the journal - whose macabre tale unfolds in an alternating narrative with Rafe's - isn't the only relic in the trunk, and Rafe isn't the only one to purloin a souvenir. A mysterious flask containing the last drops of the grisly potion that inspired Jekyll and Hyde and spawned London's most infamous killer has gone missing. And it has definitely fallen into the wrong hands.

Is it brilliant? No. Is it entertaining? Yes. I love Masello's "historical figures fight paranormal/magical evil, leave artifacts for future people to find who then take up the mantle and finish the fight the historical figures began" stories. It's a very niche, very specific genre, and yes, it's silly, but I love it. They're so much fun, and shockingly well researched.
This time, it's Robert Louis Stevenson versus himself, basically, plus Jack the Ripper and a sketchy doctor in the Swiss Alps. And giant wolves. And in the future, there's a young environmental scientist, his developmentally disabled teenaged sister, and the pretty hippie next door, fighting meth cooking bikers and the neighbor's dangerous ex boyfriend who drank the Jekyll elixer. Dun dun dun!
It was solid. Likable characters, an excellent portrayal of Stevenson and his family, and a nicely put together plot. I enjoyed it.

The narration was mostly good, but that Scottish accent was just abominable.

Seriously.... the whiny ramblings of an invalid. And the " surprise" ending? Was far too obvious right out of the starting blocks.,

Tedious
