This is perhaps Collins' last lucid effort before ill health and opium drained his powers. A tale of ghostly terror, relentless pace, tight narrative, and a doomed Countess characterize and distinguish this powerful Collins novelette.
It got better during the last few chapter but it took forever to build up to some kind of suspense. A lot of patience for a relatively mild outcome.
