Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in London on 4th October 1835. Braddon suffered early family trauma at age five, when her mother, Fanny, separated from her father, Henry, in 1840. When she was aged ten her brother Edward left England for India and later Australia. However, after being befriended by Clara and Adelaide Biddle she was much taken by acting. For three years she took minor acting roles, which supported both her and her mother, However, her interest in acting began to wane as she began to write. It was to be her true vocation.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon, the daughter of a solicitor, was educated privately. In 1860 she met John Maxwell, a publisher of periodicals, whose wife was in an asylum for the insane. Braddon acted as stepmother to Maxwell's five children and bore him five illegitimate children before the couple married, in 1874, when Maxwell's wife died. Braddon's most famous novel, Lady Audley's Secret (1862), was first published serially in Robin Goodfellow and The Sixpenny Magazine.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon is known to readers today-if she is known at all-primarily for the two bestselling novels written early in her career, Lady Audley’s Secret (1861–62) and Aurora Floyd (1862–63). With these, and alongside writers such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Reade, and Mrs. Henry Wood, she helped to define and popularize that extraordinary mid-Victorian genre, the novel of sensation.

If you've enjoyed Braddon's better known novels you'll probably like this one. It's not quite as polished and literary, and but her style is very much there and it's an entertaining, fast moving read.

The reason I'm only giving it three stars is the quality of this edition. The first 30 pages or so are clean, but after that it seems like someone typed fast and distracted and no editor went in to clean it up. Dozens of typos, missing words, pieces of paragraphs pasted in the wrong places, etc. Even if this isn't a great classic it deserves better treatment than this.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon often wrote two novels a year, her books eagerly anticipated by Victorian readers. Some critics considered her novels immoral, but this was no impediment to sales, then as now. Mrs. Braddon contributed significantly to the evolution of detective fiction and was one of the great practitioners of the sensation novel.

His Darling Sin was published in 1899, as Mrs. Braddon was entering the last ten years of her controversial career.

The tale is well told and takes a surprising turn at the end. The first mystery we encounter is a society scandal involving the beautiful young widow Lady Perivale. Several people in her set claim they saw her traveling abroad with the notorious Colonel Rannock, passing as his wife. In fact, the lady was living in seclusion in a remote Italian villa. Unfortunately, she can't prove it.

Lady Perivale hires a detective to rescue her from this "dark cloud of undeserved disgrace." I liked Mr. Faunce at once, with his kindly eyes, pleasantly shrewd countenance and perfectly trained memory. Because he's not flashy, he's believable. His soft heart, not quite compatible with his hunting instincts, reminds me a bit of Simenon's Maigret.

Faunce's investigation on behalf of the injured Lady Perivale raises another question - and an even greater mystery: where has the wicked Colonel disappeared to?

Dick Rannock is a typical Victorian reprobate, "at home in the best and the worst society." The "darling sin" of the title is his: an earthy, fiery mistress who, oddly enough, closely resembles the elegant Lady Perivale!

If you like a lively mix of light romance and dark deeds, of socialites and seedy characters, you'll be as pleased as I was with His Darling Sin.
