Opis

First published in 1878, The Haunted Hotel is among the later works of Wilkie Collins, famous for his 1868 novel The Moonstone, widely considered as the first modern English detective novel. The Haunted Hotel is notable for its atmosphere--a decaying palace in Venice--as well as intrigue among members of the aristocracy. "Wilkie Collins invented the genre of the English detective novel." T.S. ELIOT "Wilkie Collins is the author of probably the finest detective story ever written." DOROTHY L. SAYERS "Collins authored the best detective tale in the world." G.K. CHESTERTON
