Fergus Hume : A Woman's Burden before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised A Woman's Burden:

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Surviving catastropheBy Byron H. CohenI think this is one of the best novels written by Fergus Hume. The trials and tribulations of Miriam Crane are very engrossing--especially gripping was the description of just how quickly someone could be brought down quickly to the lowest point in their life in nineteenth century England. The struggle for survival of the poorer classes in London is quite poignant and moving and necessary to understand that era.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. INTERESTING AND VERY WELL WRITTENBy V. LooneyI really like this one. All three stories are well written. Seems like he did some rather short stories and combined them. I truly like the characters in his books. In the first story of the three, most of the men in the book needed killing. But good stories!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy Theia111I know this author has written some good books but these three are not among them. A Woman's Burden had interesting characters but the "mystery" was poorly put together and unsuspenseful. Still, it was the best of the three.

Fergusson Wright Hume, known as Fergus Hume (8 July 1859 – 12 July 1932) was a prolific English novelist. Finding that the novels of Émile Gaboriau were then very popular in Melbourne, he obtained and read a set of them and determined to write a novel of a similar kind. The result was the self-published novel The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886), which became a great success. Hume based his descriptions of poor urban life on his knowledge of Little Bourke Street. He sold the English and United States rights to the novel for 50 pounds, and thus derived little benefit from its success. It eventually became the best selling mystery novel of the Victorian era, author John Sutherland terming it the "most sensationally popular crime and detective novel of the century". This novel inspired to write , which introduced the character . Doyle remarked, "Hansom Cab was a slight tale, mostly sold by 'puffing'." After the success of his first novel and the publication of another, Professor Brankel's Secret (c.1886), Hume returned to England in 1888. He resided in London for few years and then he moved to the Essex countryside where he lived in Thundersley for 30 years, eventually producing more than 100 novels and short stories. He continued to be anxious for success as a dramatist, and at one time Henry Irving was favourably considering one of his plays, but he died before it could be produced.
