The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
'There, as if it had at that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven - stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments' Walter Hartright's encounter with the nameless and distressed woman in white begins one of the greatest mystery thrillers in the English language. A gripping tale, intricately plotted and compellingly told.
Wilkie Collins (1824-89) was one of the most popular novelists of his day; in 65 years he wrote 25 novels, more than 50 short stories, at least 15 plays, and more than 100 non-fiction pieces. A close friend of Charles Dickens from their meeting in March 1851 until Dickens' death in 1870, Collins was one of the best known, best loved, and, for a time, best paid of Vistorian fiction writers. Exploring the realms of mystery, suspense and crime, he is often regarded as the inventor of the detective story.
