The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice
by Wilkie Collins
My first Wilkie Collins, a shorter novel from 1878. I liked his writing style and the tension of the second half of the story, though the exposition takes a while to unfold and a few of the characters seemed just to clutter the story. (Two top-notch unabridged audios of this novel make it very inviting: the one I listened to was the excellent Naxos recording with Jonathan Keeble. What a job he does! From the excerpt at Audible, it sounds as if the Blackstone recording with Traci Svendsgaard is also engaging. I almost went with that one.)
