When Walter Hartwright encounters a solitary, terrified, beautiful woman dressed in white on a moonlit night in London, he feels impelled to solve the mystery of her distress. The story, full of secrets, locked rooms, lost memories, and surprise revelations, features heroine Marian Halcombe and drawing-master Walter Hartright as sleuthing partners pitted against the diabolical Count Fosco and Sir Percival Glyde. This gothic psychological thriller, a mesmerizing tale of murder, intrigue, madness, and mistaken identity, has gripped the imagination of readers since its first publication in 1860. The breathtaking tension of Collins's narrative created a new literary genre of suspense fiction, which profoundly shaped the course of English popular writing.

narrators make it engaging submitted by camelsamba on August 29, 2013, 10:42pm A couple years ago, I downloaded a free (Project Gutenberg) version of this to read electronically - but either my aging eyes or the quaint/classical nature of the writing made it hard for me to finish. This book on CD is the perfect remedy! I was a bit concerned upon listening to the first couple of tracks (prologues), but once he launched into the actual story I was hooked. The story really comes alive with these readers (different readers for the different narrators). Try it, you'll like it!
