Wilkie Collins' classic story, The Woman in White, is one of the great mystery thrillers of the nineteenth century and beyond. It is a wonderful combination of rich characterisation and cunning melodrama which ensnares the reader from its opening pages. The novel features one of the strongest heroines of the Victorian Age, Marian Halcombe, who was a revelation for the readers of the time. Although not conventionally attractive, she is a tough, determined and feisty soul, well equipped to travel down the dark and dangerous pathway fate has decreed for her. Also featured is one of the great villains of all literature, the sly, smooth and corpulent Count Fosco, whose eccentric habits both chill and amuse. Since its publication, The Woman in White has never been out of print and has been the subject of numerous theatrical, film and television adaptations, including most recently a musical version by Andrew Lloyd Webber. With an Afterword by David Stuart Davies.

I enjoy long books. After the first couple of chapters, this book held no interest for me at all. It goes on and on but is meaningless. If this is an example of of great Victorian mystery, then count me out. J/S

One of my favorites
I had read this book before but wanted a copy of my own. Tho written in the mid-1800s, it has a lively contemporary feel. The Moonstone is also written by Collins. They are both great places to live, and since both are long novels, that can be for quite a while.

MYSTERY
Although this book may be called a great mystery story it is also a wonderful love story well worth reading.

Excellent
Even though it can be a bit wordy, I think it only helps to develop the characters and story better. This book covers many genres..... romance, suspense, mystery. What else could you want in a book?

Good book
I had to read it for school. At first it seemed overwhelming but I became enthralled and enjoyed every moment of it. I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys tongue in cheek humor and subtleness. Wilke Collins is an excellent writer.
