In my opinion, it's the best book by Collins and one of the best books I've read in my life. The plot is ingenious, the characters are well-drawn and unique. The book has it all: a mystery, suspense, humor, tragedy, melodrama, deaths, disguises, a duel of wits, many thrilling moments, and at the center of it all lies a story of a woman who refuses to give in to circumstances and decides to recover what is rightfully hers.This is a delightful story of determination and despair, greed and magnanimity, revenge and forgiveness.
