Beschreibung

In "Armadale," Wilkie Collins masterfully intertwines elements of sensation and mystery literature, presenting a complex narrative steeped in themes of identity, morality, and fate. The novel is characterized by its intricate plot structure and vivid characterization, with Collins employing a rich, atmospheric style that immerses readers in the psychological depth of its characters. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, "Armadale" examines social conventions and the darker aspects of human nature, showcasing the author's innovative approach to storytelling that invites comparison with his contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Wilkie Collins, often hailed as one of the pioneers of the mystery genre, drew upon his own life experiences in crafting "Armadale." His familiarity with the legal system and the complexities of human relationships provided the foundation for a narrative steeped in intrigue and moral ambiguity. Collins's social observations and personal struggles, including his tumultuous relationships and health challenges, resonate vividly throughout the novel, informing his characters'Äô journeys and ethical dilemmas. This compelling work is recommended for readers who appreciate a sophisticated exploration of psychological suspense and societal critique. "Armadale" is not only a landmark in Collins's literary career but also a timeless reflection on the human condition, making it essential reading for enthusiasts of classic mysteries.

    'Wonderfully Twisted' - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reader Review 
    If walls could talk... 👀 
    Looking after and tending to the needs of my tenants is what gives me purpose. Every day I go out of my way to watch over them and keep them safe. They're more than just paying guests, they're my neighbours, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure they're happy. 
    But when one of them is found dead in their apartment, everything I thought I knew is thrown into chaos. I always thought that danger only lived in the outside world, it’s why I’ve not stepped foot outside this building for 5 years. But I’m quickly realising that there is more to fear inside these walls. 
    When I inherited this building from my dad I had no idea about its sordid history. But as far as I'm concerned, no good comes from digging up the past. But with the police asking probing questions - about them, about me - and with my tenants holding secret meetings, I must uncover the truth before anyone else comes to harm, even if it means risking everything I've carefully built.

    When it comes to love, everyone is compromised 
    The murder scene looks depressingly ordinary at first; a home-invasion shooting of a real-estate agent. But Detective Erin O'Reilly has a nose for trouble, and this case smells all wrong. It's bad enough that the victim is tied to several sleazy property deals, but the worst of it is the sole witness to the crime; the dead man's girlfriend is Lieutenant Webb's ex-wife. 
    Erin is no stranger to personal complications, but Webb's entanglements threaten to derail the whole investigation. With her commanding officer compromised, she and her K-9 Rolf will have to take the lead as they try to tear open a case involving street thugs, car thieves, a shady trainer of fighting dogs, and a paranoid white-collar guy in way over his head. It's shaping up to be an ugly dogfight in the streets of Brooklyn.
