Mary Shelley Monster Hunter #3

Synopsis

Mary enthusiastically agrees to work as Victoria's assistant, to the point of neglecting her friends and possibly allowing her husband to stray. Victoria succeeds in reanimating the lifeless flesh assembled from dead men, but when the creature physically attaches himself to Victoria, she and Imogen decide that it should be destroyed. Mary convinces Victoria to let her educate him. Naming him Adam, within weeks she has taught him language and proper deportment, but perhaps for nothing when Shelley's former wife arrives and accosts them, demanding money. Adam lashes out, killing the woman.
