Greg E. Johnson is an author with a background in science, specializing in entomology. He has written many reports and technical papers during his work career as an environmental scientist and has even published an article in college on “The Soil Foodweb.” While in the military, he took part in a military-wide essay competition and was the runner-up.
Johnson uses his expertise in science and entomology to craft a mystery story with a unique twist, where his “detective” is not what you might expect.
“The King of Charnley Farm” is a mystery novel set in the small towns of Bickley Marsh and Haversford, Cornwall. The story revolves around Charles Brack, a London resident pursuing a Master of Science degree in entomology at South Bank University. When the Entomology Society of London receives reports of an extraordinarily large bee in Haversford, they send Charles to investigate.
Upon arrival, he must navigate the local gossip and legends and find accommodation and field equipment to collect specimens. Throughout his journey, Charles encounters a diverse cast of characters, including the local butcher Mr. Jones and his mentor, Professor Atkin. As Charles delves deeper into the mystery, he finds that the town’s history and residents hold more secrets than he initially thought.
Let’s dive into the mysterious adventure of a student of entomology from London who has a keen interest in insects, and his life suddenly takes a turn, and he begins to investigate.
