The Haunted Hotel, A Mystery of Modern Venice

$19.00

Description

Best known for books such as The Woman in White and The Moonstone, William Wilkie Collins is one of the Victorian era’s most well-known as successful novelist. Although significantly shorter than his other works.

The Haunted Hotel still requires a fair amount of time and attention for readers to be capable of immersing themselves into the full extent of what Collins’ storytelling talent is capable of. Quite short, yet a remarkable well-written example of the author’s style and ability to put together a genuine and exciting mystery, this book is basically perfect for anyone who is just getting acquainted with his writings.

While beginning in London, the story soon introduces the reader to a hotel in Venice around the year 1860. The particular peculiarity of what sets this hotel apart from most others, however, is that it was the scene of the mysterious death of Lord Montberry, and now it soon appears to be obvious that the deceased has not really left.

In this haunting and exciting tale, however, nothing is as it seems, and readers have to work hard in order to unravel the puzzle that the author had so majestically put together through his carefully woven narrative.

Published at the end of the 1870s, the book is representative of Wilkie Collins’ decline as a prolific writer. Due to his health, many of his later works, suffered from slightly lesser quality, and one may indeed conclude that The Haunted Hotel is not the pinnacle of his accomplishments. Nevertheless, the story’s only fault is perhaps that it’s not as long as one might expect, cutting the excitement short, yet still managing to maintain the suspense right through to the end.

For readers looking to delight themselves with a classic mystery that bewilders as much as it fascinates, Wilkie Collins’ The Haunted Hotel may be considered an excellent read under any condition.
