The Frankenstein Murders by Kathlyn Bradshaw Detective Edward Freame is hired to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding the murder of Henry Clerval, only to be tormented by the writings of the man who was originally tried for the crime — Dr.Victor Frankenstein. Following the trail left by the late Frankenstein, Freame scours the European countryside, trying to find the clues that will lead him to the truth behind the chilling murder of Clerval.With the doctor’s dictated journals as the only account of the murder, Edward explores the undocumented life of Victor Frankenstein, collecting interviews and observations from a revolving door of Victorian aristocracy and caddish ne’er-dowells. Renowned for his rational mind, Freame is torn between believing in Frankenstein’s inhuman monster, brought to life from dead flesh, or in an elaborate cover-up to hide something even more sinister. In a stunning homage to Mary Shelley’s original horror story, Kathlyn Bradshaw combines Victorian gaslight detective novels and smog drenched ghost stories to explore the psychological underpinnings of characters first rendered almost two-hundred years ago.
