James Charles

Author

The Darwin Affair dropped and immersed me into hard times in Victorian England with a frustrated detective based on a Charles Dickens character who investigates a conspiracy to murder either Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, and/or Charles Darwin, who is promoting his On the Origin Of Species.

I not only learned a bit about Victorian England and Darwin, but this historical fiction was a fast-paced thriller to boot! I read it in four days.
