Synopsis

Daryl Gregory's The Album of Dr. Moreau combines the science fiction premise of the famous novel by H. G. Wells with the panache of a classic murder mystery and the spectacle of a beloved boy band.

It’s 2001, and the WyldBoyZ are the world’s hottest boy band, and definitely the world’s only genetically engineered human-animal hybrid vocal group. When their producer, Dr. M, is found murdered in his hotel room, the “boyz” are the
prime suspects. Was it Bobby the ocelot (“the cute one”), Matt the megabat (“the funny one”), Tim the pangolin (“the shy one”), Devin the bonobo (“the romantic one”), or Tusk the elephant (“the smart one”)?

Las Vegas Detective Luce Delgado has only twenty-four hours to solve a case that goes all the way back to the secret science barge where the WyldBoyZ’ journey first began—a place they used to call home.

Goodreads review by Jamie on December 11, 2020

Truly bizarre and tons of fun, this is a locked-room murder mystery featuring a boy band that's a bit unusual, to say the least. Whether you're familiar with H.G. Wells' sci-fi classic The Island of Doctor Moreau and recognize the references or not, the genetically engineered members of The WyldBoyZ......more

Goodreads review by Octavia on January 01, 2021

The Album of Dr. Moreau is a locked room style mystery where a tough-but-actually-a-sweetheart detective has 24 hours to figure out who killed a guy after a party, that alone sounds interesting to me but then you throw in the twist and I couldn't read fast enough! The dead guy is a band manager and......more
