THE MONSTER THEY SEEK MAY NOT BE THE ONE THEY FIND

1824, and Lyme Regis is as tumultuous as the sea that surrounds it. When twenty-four-year-old Ada Winters - poor, peculiar and brilliant - uncovers a set of unusual fossils on the cliffs, she believes she has found the answer to her scientific frustrations and her family's financial struggles.

Meanwhile, Doctor Edwin Moyle has come to Dorset in search of the discovery that will place him amongst the greatest geologists of the age. What he finds instead is a strange young woman who seems to hold the key to everything he seeks.

But what is the creature that Ada and Edwin seek to unearth? And will it be their means to greatness, or destruction?

At first I wasn’t sure I’d like this but having recently visited Lyme and looked for fossils I thought at least I’d have some background information. Actually really enjoyed and the story, the background, the detail of the fossils and the narration all blended to make this a worthwhile book with a satisfying ending :)

A great listen.
