WILKIE COLLINS
Wilkie Collins is a master of mystery, and The Woman in White is his first excursion into the genre
When the hero, Walter Hartright, encounters a solitary, terrified and beautiful woman dressed in white one moonlit night in north London, he feels impelled to solve the mystery of her distress.
The intricate plot is peopled with a finely characterised cast, from the peevish invalid Mr Fairlie to the corpulent villain Count Fosco and the enigmatic woman in white herself
