The Woman in White is an epistolary novel written by Wilkie Collins in 1859, serialized in 1859-1860, and first published in book form in 1860. It is considered to be among the first mystery novels and is widely regarded as one of the first in the genre of 'sensation novels'. The story is sometimes considered an early example of detective fiction with the hero, Walter Hartright, employing many of the sleuthing techniques of later private detectives.
The Moonstone (1868) by Wilkie Collins is an epistolary novel, generally considered the first detective novel in the English language. The Moonstone is about the disappearance of a precious diamond called "the Moonstone", and the novel is a collection of eyewitness accounts by different characters who know something about its disappearance. The idea was for the novel itself to be like a collection of evidence so that the readers could be put in the position of the detective.
The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice is a Wilkie Collins's ghost story was set in 1860 and published in book form with 'My Lady's Money'. The Haunted Hotel: a tale of a haunting - or the tale of a crime? The ghost of Lord Montberry seems to be haunting the Palace Hotel in Venice. Montberry's beautiful-yet-terrifying wife, the Countess Narona, and her erstwhile brother are the center of the terror that fills the Palace Hotel. Are their malefactions at the root of the haunting - or is there something darker, something much more unknowable at work?
William Wilkie Collins (1824 - 1889) was an English novelist, playwright, and author of short stories. His best-known works are The Woman in White, The Moonstone, Armadale, and No Name. Collins developed a new way of writing suspenseful novels: instead of having a central narrator who tells the story, Collins composed his novels as a series of first-person narratives, so the point of view in the novels is always changing.

Ce volume rassemble trois œuvres majeures de Wilkie Collins, pionnier du roman policier et maître du suspense. The Woman in White est considéré comme l’un des premiers romans à énigme, tandis que The Moonstone est souvent cité comme le premier roman policier moderne. The Haunted Hotel ajoute une touche de mystère gothique, le tout dans une édition illustrée et pratique pour une immersion totale.
Ces romans explorent des thèmes variés : l’identité et la folie dans The Woman in White, le vol et l’enquête dans The Moonstone, et la culpabilité, la vengeance et le surnaturel dans The Haunted Hotel. Les intrigues, souvent narrées sous forme épistolaire, mettent en lumière les tensions sociales et psychologiques de l’Angleterre victorienne.
Ce livre s’adresse aux amateurs de littérature classique, de romans policiers et de mystères gothiques. Il conviendra particulièrement aux lecteurs qui apprécient les récits à suspense, les énigmes complexes et les atmosphères victoriens.
