"This slim book also contains a 2nd longer short-story called "John Jago's Ghost." Both are page-turners that keep you questioning. I enjoyed them both. These are the first short stories I've read by Collins, I think (I've read 3 of his novels) and they are 'full' despite their length."

— Chrystie, 9/7/2012Wilkie Collins (1824–1889) was an English novelist. He studied law and was admitted to the bar but never practiced. Instead, he devoted his time to writing and is best known for his novels The Woman in White, No Name, Armadale, and The Moonstone, which has been called the finest detective story ever written. A number of his works were collaborations with his close friend, Charles Dickens. The Woman in White so gripped the imagination of the world that Wilkie Collins had his own tombstone inscribed: “Author of The Woman in White.”
