About this listen

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.

although it improved as the story went on, I found stephensons' german accent somewhat disconcerting! Overall the narration was good and the story very well thought out

shaky accent but ripping yarn

The book is average. It’s not Masello’s best. The story is a nice idea but I found it a slog. “Louis’s” accent ranges from somewhat Scottish, occasionally Irish, sometimes somewhere north England… distracting to say the least. Except when he tried and Irish accent and that was just terrible!

The tale just didn’t grip me. It was pretty dull. I found myself having to repeat sections over and over. The modern day characters just weren’t engaging after a while. I really just don’t care about them.

Perhaps it would have been better to read? Anyway, I listened via Kindle Unlimited. Essentially free. I’m glad I didn’t buy it!

Average at best, if you can get past the terrible Scottish accent

What would have made The Jekyll Revelation better?

The slowest book ever.....and once it got going (part 2) I'd lost interest....

Would you ever listen to anything by Robert Masello again?

No

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I liked the Canadian hero, but the Scottish accent for Stevenson was a bit strange.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Annoyance, I started to fast forward....

Couldn't finish it.....
