White's prose is marked by a keen eye for detail and a deft handling of atmosphere, utilizing vivid imagery to enhance the reader's immersion in the eerie undercurrents that plague her characters. The book can be situated within the early 20th-century Gothic tradition, intersecting with mystery and thrill, making it a precursor to contemporary psychological thrillers. Ethel Lina White was a pioneering figure within the realm of crime fiction, best known for her ability to craft suspense-filled tales with strong psychological insights. Her career as a writer blossomed in the 1920s and 1930s, during a time when women were making significant inroads into the genre.

For readers drawn to atmospheric mysteries and psychological explorations, "Wax" is an indispensable addition to their literary repertoire.
