62. Wilkie Collins Mystery Novels About the Author Wilkie Collins (18241889) wrote short stories, journalism, plays,and a biography but is best known for his novels The Woman in White, No Name http://www.oxfordmusic.com/ole/wcollins.html

Wilkie Collins Books The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins A story of confused identities with unsuspected surprises and dramatic compulsiveness. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins A fabulous yellow diamondan ancient talisman which had been looted from the holy Hindu city of Somnauthbecomes the dangerous inheritance of Rachel Verinder. And when the Moonstone disappears, what seems like a simple case turns into a masterpiece of detection and suspense. The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins Probably the first full-length novel with a woman detective as its heroine, The Law and the Lady (1875) is a fascinating example of Collins' later fiction. Valeria Valerie Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name incorrectly in the marriage register; this slip is followed by a gradual disclosure of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads to another set of questions and enigmas. Developing many of the techniques at work in The Moonstone in bizarre and unexpected ways, and employing both Gothic and fantastic elements, The Law and the Lady adds a significant dimension to the history of the detective novel. The Dead Secret by Wilkie Collins Shocking, long-hidden secrets lie at the heart of this classic tale of mystery and suspense from the author of "The Moonstone" and "The Woman in White."

Library Wilkie Collins Dictionary Wilkie Collins William Wilkie Collins was born in London on January 8, 1824, the oldest son of a fashionable artist. He was named after Sir David Wilkie, a friend of the family. After an early career in business, he studied law and was admitted to the bar, though he apparently never practiced. He also tried his hand at painting, and wrote many articles and stories that were published anonymously. A biography of his father was his first major published work, the success of which encouraged him to write for a living. His first novel, a historical work called Antonina or The Fall of Rome , was published in 1850. In 1851, Collins was introduced to Charles Dickens by a mutual friend. The two formed a lasting friendship, and worked together on Dickens’s magazines, Household Words and All the Year Round , where many of Collins’s works appeared in serial form. Collins was one of the pioneers of the mystery and suspense genre, and his most famous novels include The Woman in White and The Moonstone . The latter was mostly dictated while he was bed-ridden and suffering from gout. He died in 1889.

Sometimes the place looked as if "it had hundreds of suffocating people under it - all struggling to get to the surface, and sinking lower and lower in the dreadful deeps!" The place was never the same; it was always new and unpredictable. The description of the Shivering Sand is of great importance. The author put too much sense into it. "When the hide flows over the quicksand, the sea seems to leave the waves behind it on the bank, and rolls its waters in smoothly with a heave, and covers the sand in silence. A lonesome and horrid retreat... It looks as if it had hundreds of suffocating people under it..." What a sombre picture! It's filled with loneliness and melancholy. At the same time the atmosphere is strained. There are hundreds of sufferings in it that are beyond any expression. But in the next landscape absolutely different emotions are reflected: "The sunlight poured its unclouded beauty on every object I could see. The exquisite freshness of the air made the mere act of living and breathing a luxury. Even the lonely little bay welcomed the morning with a show of cheerfulness..." This description fascinates by its vividness, unspotted beauty and impressionable picturesqueness. It's bright and lovely in its spirit. There nature is like a connection between the disharmonious and intricate life of a human being and the perfect and unspotted ideal, which can exist only in one's dreams.
