Praise for this book
"Highly enjoyable, terrifically good fun, very well paced, and full of relish for Stevenson's original story." - J S Barnes
"Riveting, ingenious, original. I kinda wish I'd thought of this myself!" - Adam Christopher
"A wonderful concept, beautifully executed. Delightful and enthralling in equal measure. Replete with a delicious Victorian atmosphere, as thick as a pea-souper." - Jeremy Dyson
"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." - James Lovegrove
"Relentlessly engaging, entertaining, and terrific fun." - Tom Mead
