What readers think of The Darwin Affair, plus links to write your own review.

London in 1860 is the principal setting of Tim Mason's The Darwin Affair.

I really enjoyed this book about a detective in 1860's London who was tracking a very heinous villain - Artemis Cobb. Artemis had a serious problem with Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Such a serious problem that he vowed to kill anyone who embraced Darwin's ideas, including Queen Victoria!!

"The Darwin Affair by Tim Mason . . . set in Victorian England of the 1860s . . . grabs the reader and tosses him or her into the middle of an assassination attempt of the Royals--Queen Victoria and Prince Albert . . . The plot unfolds in an exciting dash to save Prince Albert, and bring Decimus Cobb . . . easily the most frightening antagonist since Hannibal Lecter . . . to justice."

Quote from book:

“Man named Cobb.” “Do you think he murdered these women?” “I am afraid I do, sir.” “Good God. Why?” Field sighed and shook his head. “To look into another man’s heart is difficult enough. To read the heart of a monster—if he has one—may not be possible.”
