I watched the Sebastian Faulks programme about 'the novel' and this was one of the books he mentioned that I'd not heard of and hadn't read. Apparently Wilky Collins was a friend of Dickens which is probably why I enjoyed it so much as I'm a big fan of Dickens. You have to get past the 'olde English' style of writing and the amazing politeness of people but when you do it becomes a wonderful whodunnit!! Brilliant story, beautifully written.
