Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen was born on February 24th, 1848 at Alwington, near Kingston, Canada West (now part of Ontario). Home schooled until 13 when his family moved to England, Grant was to become a highly regarded science writer who branched out to a fiction career and became enormously popular. His work helped propel several genres of fiction and whilst his career was short it was enormously productive. Grant’s scientific background enabled him to root much of his work in a plausibility that was denied to others. He had little fear in challenging a society that treated women as second class citizens and creating best sellers from such works. On October 25th 1899 Grant Allen died at his home in Hindhead, Haslemere, Surrey, England. He died just before finishing Hilda Wade. The novel's final episode, which he dictated to his friend, doctor and neighbour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from his bed appeared under the appropriate title, The Episode of the Dead Man Who Spoke in 1900.

Eastwood HILDA WADE: A WOMAN WITH TENACITY OF PURPOSE was Grant Allen's final book. Its twelve chapters were serialized in THE STRAND MAGAZINE from Mar. 1899 to Feb. 1900. Because Allen was unable to complete the final chapter before dying in Oct. 1899, Arthur Conan Doyle, his neighbor and friend, kindly to agree to write it, using Allen's detailed instructions.This novel is quite a bit weaker than Allen's other two "mystery books," AN AFRICAN MILLIONAIRE (1897) and MISS CAYLEY'S ADVENTURES (1899), both of which are first-rate. Although HILDA WADE has a worthy plot and contains numerous indications of why Grant Allen's works were welcomed by editors and readers, it suffers from a lamentable quality-control problem - some chapters are witty, superbly exciting, touching, and thought-provoking - while others are flat and/or lack cohesion. The final chapter, written by Conan Doyle, is approximately two-thirds the length of Allen's own chapters and is minimally competent but no more than that.The emerging A-to-Z story arc has to do with Hilda's efforts to clear her late father of a murder charge, and the novel is narrated by a medical man who gradually falls in love with her and comes to believe in the justice of her efforts - even though she makes it clear that they can never marry until she has succeeded.As he did with MISS CAYLEY'S ADVENTURES, Allen takes his characters to exotic locations. When Hilda, working as a nurse in a London hospital, is nearly murdered by the man who is her chief suspect, she flees to South Africa to reformulate her strategy in safety; in Rhodesia, she and her beloved are nearly murdered again. Next they travel to India and thence to Nepal and Tibet, where their enemy strikes a third time. Repeatedly, Hilda's brains and courage and ingenuity save her life and the lives of several others.While not among Allen's best novels, HILDA WADE has many merits, including valuable insights into human psychology, human moral character, and the pleasures provided by fiction. Weighing its weaknesses and strengths and comparing it with other books by Agatha Christie, P. D. James, Ngaio Marsh, Ed McBain, Robert Parker, and others that I've read in the past couple of years, in my judgment HILDA WADE deserves a letter grade of "B-". While I doubt I would want to reread this whole book again, there are many passages I've marked in my copy that I would like to share with various friends and at least three chapters that I would enjoy reading aloud to a dear friend of mine who has spent several years in India.
