The monochromatic counterpart to The Woman in White?
Seriously, although this book is an easy and engaging read, I'm afraid I prefer the Wilkie Collins book.
At 200 pages long it seems a little long. I know that seems an odd observation to make, but The Woman in Black is a ghost story, and without the preamble from Arthur Kipps where he is told it is his turn to recall a ghost story, I doubt the story would have warranted a whole book to itself.
I did enjoy it, just have enjoyed other books more.
It would be interesting to see how it is portrayed in film, but will wait for it's eventual showing on TV to make my mind up.
