The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice by Wilkie Collins
4.0
With October around the corner, I am all for mystery books. That being said, I was bound to dive into The Haunted Hotel. In it, we are following a family who just found out a family relative has just died. Now this is while they are on their honeymoon, so it was pretty reasonable for them to be a bit skeptical about the death. It also doesn't help that no one really liked the victim's wife either.
It's fair to assume who would be suspect #1 in this case. Yet, with rumors, twists, and turns coming my way - I wasn't exactly sure who did it. While reading this book, I definitely thought of Agatha Christie's books. Mostly because the way things flowed in and out just reminded me of her writing.
In the end, all the paranormal activity and mystery within this book kept me engaged and made this a page turner. I look forward to my next book by Wilkie.
