Can anyone recommend some Wilkie Collins books, of the mystery genre? |

I’ve read MOONSTONE, THE WOMAN IN WHITE, and NO NAME.
I’m sure lots of his works are on Project Gutenberg, and other places.
(That’s one of the great things about the Internet—used to be you had to go to a college library to get his lesser known works.)
Oh, by the way, I'd recommend those I've read.

Raccoon, here's what I can get thru interlibrary loan in Michigan - it's easy to do, but takes a week or so till the book comes to my library for pickup. http://elibrary.mel.org/search~S15?/aCollins%2C+Wilkie/acollins+wilkie/1%2C3%2C464%2CB/exact&FF=acollins+wilkie+1824+1889&1%2C457%2C/indexsort=-This is a link that shows what's available. Don't know where you live, but your librarian would know how to connect you up in your state.

6. I have tried, and tried, and tried to read "The Woman in White" |
|
I have no idea what is wrong with me, but I can't do it. By page 10 I'm done. Every single time. :shrug:

8. I liked it a lot better than The Moonstone |
|
although I thought that the main character chose the wrong sister to marry.
