This collection of Wilkie Collins novellas was somewhat uneven. I am crazy about many of his books - The Moonstone, The Woman in White, and Armadale chief among them. I liked the title piece quite a bit...included many of Collins's signature touches. But the whole thing felt kind of rushed. The stories didn't have time to develop and were missing some of Collins's signature layers.
