Mary Elizabeth Braddon was a popular British author of the Victorian era. She was the author of over fifty novels and was widely read throughout the nineteenth century. While best known for \u003ci\u003eLady Audley's Secret\u003c\/i\u003e, she has written many other works that received critical acclaim at their time of release. \u003ci\u003eHenry Dunbar: The Story of an Outcast\u003c\/i\u003e is another popular novel of Braddon's. This republication by Forgotten Books features the second volume in a three-volume collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo truely appreciate this book one must first read \u003ci\u003eVolume One\u003c\/i\u003e as there is no summary, and the first chapter drops the reader into the middle of the story. The lead character is Margaret Wilmot, a tough and inquisitive female detective. \u003ci\u003eHenry Dunbar\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of fraud, murder, and other criminal activity. This is a detective story, with Braddon's trademark female lead on the case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHenry Dunbar\u003c\/i\u003e is a tightly written novel, and one that grips the reader almost immediately. While contemporary critics were divided, with some turned off by the tales of violence, the modern reader will find this to be a rollicking detective tale in line with many works of recent years. Braddon's writing is transcendent while still being a wonderful window into the Victorian era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe writing of Mary Elizabeth Braddon will appeal to the modern reader as her stories contain many of the hallmarks of good detective writing.
