Dress and the body are important elements in Collin's excellent mystery novel, which makes this a good book to read for the student of mid-19th c. costume history. ( ![]() Phenomenal mystery! Loved this writing style. Cool tidbit that Wilkie Collins was a friend and contemporary of Charles Dickens! Everyone faces problems, and it is likely that we can help people more than we realize. Best-selling author Dr. Gary R. Collins helps readers become more sensitive to the needs of others. I started reading this last year even though I’m claiming it as my second book for 2022. It’s unnecessarily long, however speech back then did tend to be long winded. The gentry had time on their hands and a jolly good conversation or some lengthy correspondence was one way of filling the day. They loved to use language and words and Collins writes with a similar flourishing style. It’s a complicated mystery with lots of deceit and sinister intrigue. Quite a big cast of main characters, all well drawn and in spite of all the flourishes, I enjoyed it and can now cross it off my Classics list!
