I read two others books by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, first The Doctor's Wife then Lady Audley's Secret. I really liked them both. The writing, the story, the main character.

Really enjoyed this story; wealth, bigamy, murder in Victorian England, what's not to enjoy. Perfect escapism.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon has been having something of a moment recently, on the back of the current interest in Victorian sensation fiction.
