James Lovegrove recommends
thumb
Jekyll & Hyde: Consulting Detectives (2024)
Tim Major
"Tim Major has come up with one of those 'damn it, I wish I'd thought of that' concepts: Henry Jekyll as a dissipated Sherlock Holmes to Edward Hyde's demented Dr Watson. But this splendid novel is more than just a cool idea; it's a rip-roaring, dark-hearted tale that yokes a cunning murder-mystery plot to the Gothic horror of Stevenson's famed novella. The sequel can't come too soon."
