Fatally Inferior (Book 2)
Vengeance stalks Charles Darwin’s family in this Victorian tale
of biblical, eye-for-an-eye revenge.
When a member of Charles Darwin’s household goes missing and a former maid dies in childbirth (or so it seems), reluctant detective Dunston Burnett is thrust into a twisted web of deception, revenge, and murder. Set in Victorian England amidst the furor triggered by Charles Darwin's revolutionary theory, Dunston, the mild-mannered retired bookkeeper, must confront enemies with motives as complex as the theories of evolution themselves. The investigation takes him from the halls of Down House, Darwin’s home in Kent, to the shadowy streets of London, where every clue brings him closer to a chilling truth.
From the Press Release: Squire masterfully blends fact with fiction, weaving a
narrative rich in period detail while keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Fans of intricate plots, atmospheric settings, and richly developed characters will be captivated by this second Dunston Burnett mystery. With its tantalizing blend of real nineteenth-century figures and a devilish mystery, Fatally Inferior is a must-read for lovers of historical whodunits.
