Some consider this book one of the greatest murder mysteries of all time.

The Woman in White is Wilkie Collins‘s 5th published novel, written in 1860 and set from 1849 to 1850. 

He considered it his best book.

The story can be seen as an early example of detective fiction with many of the sleuthing techniques of protagonist Walter Hartright being employed by later private detectives. 

Problem is … the audio book is 28 hours long!

I only got through about 25% of that. Excellent and entertaining writing. I’m shocked it was so well done in 1860.
