This one is quite an investment in time but definitely worth it. Described as being among the first mystery novels and regarded as one of the first (and finest) in the genre of "sensation novels". I agree. What a story.
Collins was trained in the law and it shows in this story. I won't spoil the story by saying any more other than that I highly recommend it, especially as the audiobook which has different narrators and that added to and enhanced the story.
