Wilkie Collins, 1868

Date read: 11/18/25


I have read very few mysteries and I think I might be missing out! This is a great novel. There is no deus en machina or anything. I did guess the culprit pretty early on but the metholodology defeated me.


I normally dont like espistolary novels but the writing is good this one gets a pass. Each voice is totally unique. It is not, as so often is the case, the same voice assigned different names.


I knew who the culprit was pretty early on but wasn't able to identify his methodology.


All in all im looking forward to the second Collins on the List.
