THE REMARKABLE MISS FRANKENSTEINThe problem, Clair realized, was that she was a Frankenstein. Her uncle's fame - he'd created her cousin Frederick from a bunch of spare parts - was a grave matter. Everyone in the family was a success, while all she'd managed was a humiliating misadventure with pigs. But her spirits were rising. The Journal of scientific Discovery was promising to publish a paper on the Discovery of the Decade, and she had a doozy. She simply had to prove Baron Huntsley - man of distinction, man of renown, man about ton - was a vampire. With his midnight-black hair, soul-piercing eyes and shiny white teeth, what else cold he be? Oh yes, the baron wanted a bite of her or she was no scientist. And then there were all those other monsters. You'd never expect so many in 1828 London! Pretty soon she'd expose them all, and on everybody's lips would be...THE REMARKABLE MISS FRANKENSTEIN.
Froggy's Review -
This is another one of Minda Webbers engrossing tales of plays of lore, superstitions and famous people both real and fictional.
Miss Frankensteins uncle made the monster Frakenstein and she considers him to be a cousin. She wants to be as sucessful as the rest of her family so she decides to find proof of ghosts, vampires and other supernatural beings. She meets Baron Ian Huntsley who is determined to keep Claire from finding out about supernatural creatures by seduction. Throw in the mix of real and fictional characters like Edgar Allen Poe, Durlock Homes and Professor Whutson and you get an entertaining book.
I love Minda's take on these tales and give this:
Definately has Bite to it!
