No Name by Wilkie Collins

5.0

I first read The Woman in White in 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know why it took me this long to pick up another Wilkie Collins novel as I really loved this book and am now determined to read the rest of his works. No Name is a classic Victorian Sensationalist novel (which is definitely my comfort genre), brimming with twists and turns, stuffed with eccentric characters, and the promise of deceit, disguise, societal commentary, and, of course, a dose of death. There were only a few instances in this 700+ page book that I felt dragged but other than that it was a brilliant read that I struggled to put down, and I highly recommend it to those who have enjoyed Collins' other works previously as well as those who don't know where to start with him.
