The Monkey's Mask Characters

The Monkey's Mask Character List

Jill

Jill is a private investigator who specializes in missing person cases. She is hired by Mickey's parents to help them solve Mickey's disappearance, but then they find Mickey's body, and she has been murdered. Jill's job becomes to help solve the murder, because the police aren't really doing anything. Jill finds herself mixed up with Mickey's friends and family, and she takes a lover, Mickey's poetry professor from school, Diana.

Diana

Diana is a radical person with many affairs and a husband who doesn't mind as long as she keeps things spicy for him. Diana is therefore free to be with many partners, although Jill doesn't know that. She assumes she is Diana's only affair, but as she investigates, she learns that Diana is a complicated character with a dark side and a penchant (like Mickey herself) for the sexually extreme.

Nick

Nick is the husband of Jill's gal-pal and lover, Diana. Nick is surprisingly open to his wife's rabid philandering, but eventually, his guilty conscience gets the best of him and he starts to confess what really happened between Nick, Diana, and Mickey. Nick explains why she went missing and how she died, basically on accident. But, it was covered up, and Nick doesn't know he's being recorded while he confesses.

Bill

Bill is a poor soul who wants to help Jill to solve Mickey's murder, but after he contacts her, he dies in a horrible explosion. What she learns from him before his death is that Mickey was not a saint. She had "evil" poetry that she never showed anyone, and Bill also explains that sometimes he felt that Mickey pushed him to do sexually extreme, sometimes uncomfortable things with her.

Tony

One of Mickey's poet lovers, this second witness helps Jill to piece together a difficult conclusion that she doesn't want to accept: That Diana might be involved. Tony and Diana are also in an affair, Jill learns, which is difficult for her as well. Tony tells about his time with Mickey. During this visit, Jill also learns that Diana was guilty of killing Bill by setting his car to explode.

Mickey

Mickey is a poet, and a good writer with a penchant for the sexually illicit and extreme. She is a missing person whose parents hire Jill to help figure out what really happened, disappointed by the incompetence of police. The people who know Mickey tend to report that she was sometimes troubled, and she liked to push the envelope. Mickey's death is eventually solved when Jill gets to know who Mickey's lovers all were.
