The Dead Secret: A Novel

by Wilkie Collins

Of all the living writers of English fiction, no one better understands the art of story-telling than Wilkie Collins. He has a faculty of coloring the mystery of a plot, exciting terror, pity, curiosity, and other passions, such as belongs to few if any of his confrères, however much they may excel him in other respects. His style, too, is singularly appropriate—less forced and artificial than the average modern novelist.—Boston Transcript.
