Publisher's Summary

Published in instalments in 1859, The Woman in White is often considered to be one of the very first detective novels. Although critics weren’t impressed at the time, the novel proved to be a hit with the public and has since gone on to become one of the timeless classics of the Victorian era.

Following the adventures of Walter Hartright, this is a story of sleuthing, inheritance, ghosts and mistaken identity and was recently the subject of a hit TV adaptation by the BBC.

Billy Howle, best known for his starring roles in On Chesil Beach opposite Saoirse Ronan, and with Richard Gere in MotherFatherSon, breathes new life into the masterpiece in this Audible Studios production.

Interesting mystery

Keeps you guessing and caring about the characters, lots of cliffhangers from the original serialization builds the tension

My favorite book of all time!

I Absolutely LOVED the narrator!! He brought Wilkie Collins masterpiece to life with different pitch, pace and tone for all the different characters... Entirely sublime and a pleasure to listen to. Considering this has been my favorite book for over 30 years, listening to someone read it rather than me reading it was a stretch, but it does NOT disappoint. I will likely listen to it again! Thank you for choosing the perfect narrator!
