Publisher's Summary

Two young men linked by a familial murder mystery, a beautiful yet wicked governess who spins a web of deceit, and five individuals named Allan Armadale

Wilkie Collins' follow-up to The Woman in White and No Name is an innovative take on mistaken identity, the nature of evil, and the dark underbelly of Victorian England. The story concerns two distant cousins, both named Allan Armadale, and the impact of a family tragedy, which makes one of them a target of the murderous Lydia Gwilt, a vicious and malevolent charmer determined to get her hands on the Armadale fortune. Will the real Allan Armadale be revealed, and will he survive the plot against his life?

Compelling

Once again, Wilkie Collins has not disappointed me. A fine, complex, beautifully written, mystery, adventure, and love story. Interesting, diverse, characters, richly portrayed. All of it brilliantly performed by the reader. Thank you Audible.

fabulous story, great narration!

Although I didn’t enjoy this book as much as No Name by the same author, I still give this book 5 stars. It's fast-paced, exciting, and hard to put down. The only complaint I would make is that the chapters in this Audible version aren't separated out very distinctly, so it's difficult to pace yourself and know when the chapter ends.
