The Woman in White

Published in 1860, The Woman in White is one of the earliest and most celebrated examples of the mystery and suspense novel.

From this incident unfolds a complex story of deception, conspiracies, and family secrets, where identity and truth become pieces of a fascinating puzzle. Narrated from multiple perspectives, the novel combines elements of the serial novel with a carefully structured narrative, anticipating many techniques of modern detective fiction. With memorable characters such as the courageous Marian Halcombe and the sinister Count Fosco, The Woman in White continues to captivate readers, cementing Collins as a master of suspense and a precursor of the detective novel.
