Mary Jekyll and the Athena Club foil a plot to unseat the Queen and race to save one of their own in this electrifying conclusion to the Locus Award winning trilogy that began with The Strange Case of the Alchemist’s Daughter.

Life’s always an adventure for the Athena Club...especially when one of their own has been kidnapped! After their thrilling European escapades rescuing Lucina van Helsing, Mary Jekyll, and her friends return home to discover that their friend and kitchen maid Alice has vanished - and so has their friend and employer Sherlock Holmes!

As they race to find Alice and bring her home safely, they discover that Alice and Sherlock’s kidnapping are only one small part of a plot that threatens Queen Victoria, and the very future of the British Empire. Can Mary, Diana, Beatrice, Catherine, and Justine save their friends - and the Empire?

In the final volume of the trilogy that Publishers Weekly called “a tour de force of reclaiming the narrative, executed with impressive wit and insight” in a starred review, the women of the Athena Club will embrace their monstrous pasts to create their own destinies.

These stories are simply wonderful. They are original, and you can't help but love all of the characters. I truly hope there will be many more.

It was fun to “hang out with” these characters again, as another reviewer has stated. This is the 3rd book for the creation of and adventures with The Athena Club. It does leave the door wide open for more books, so I am wondering if more will come.
In this book there are a few separate adventures that all come together for a larger purpose. The writing style continues to move between Catherine telling about the ladies’ escapades/writing her book, and the ladies interjecting their opinions and commentary after the fact. Since they are speaking in their present, it does spoil the suspense as to whether or not they will come through the dangers they face. However, I continue to find Diana’s remarks good comic relief!
The story is definitely far fetched, even for the genre of fantasy, and “really gross”, as Diana observed, in certain parts. I could do without the gross details.
I do recommend this book if you have read/listened to the first 2 books and enjoyed them.
I think Kate Reading does a wonderful job voicing the many and varied characters.
I do hope another book more based in reality will be forthcoming, allowing the characters’ “magical” qualities to be the fantasy, but having more realistic action.

I’ve really enjoyed this series- I read the first two years again, and recently picked up all three as audiobooks. Great fun, and stays true to its concept all the way thru.

Fun conclusion to the series!

Thoroughly enjoyed this 3rd book in a series. Wonderful performance. Many characters to track but woven together in a brilliant way.

I will confess I had stumbled upon this series a few months ago and binge-listened while on several road trips between MD and Maine. Initially skeptical, I was swept up in to this story - a collection of characters who’s origins and interconnected paths (past, present and future) twined together in a deftly told, highly imaginative story. It reminded me of “Wicked” in terms of the cleverness to create a story about a story. I was disappointed when I came to the end and waited patiently for this latest (and hopefully not the last?) installment of the adventures of the Athena Club. It didn’t disappoint. I found it to be a natural continuation of the characters and the plot(s) held my interest and unfolded with the same level of thoughtful writing and depth. If you’ve read and liked the previous books, continue the journey with these feisty ladies!

The tales continue!

I wish there were more of these adventures. I loved this series so much and was sad to see it end. With the exception of a few swear words, it was a fantastic book. I love how the characters interject and give their opinions. What a unique way to write a story. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed this book. There was so much going on with each character that I need to read it again. I highly advise this book for anyone with an imagination. I hope the author decides to write more of them. Many more. I am sure that Mary and the girls could solve more mysteries and find more trouble. 🙂

Really fun story

I loved the trilogy, amazing books that made me feel like i was friends with the Athena club, like I could smell Mrs. Poole's Roly Poley's. I felt as if Mary and Diana were my sisters, and Justine, B, and Kat were my best friend's. I am sad that the series is over, but love how it ended.

amazing

I totally enjoyed this entire series. I rarely complete a series one right after another, but I do enjoyed the characters in this series. I did not want to stop listening.

Loved the series

I loved this trilogy, including the reader, that I have listened to the books three times, every time getting the same enjoyment and entertainment. The characters are smart, witty, and fearless! am so sad that there are only three books. I think there are plenty more adventures that can be had. Anyway, I highly recommend!

Book is so clever and entertaining
