Título: The Woman in White

Autor: Wilkie Collins

Editorial: Longman

Obra adaptada: sí

Nivel: intermedio

Review: It was written by Wilkie Collins in 1859. It is considered to be among the first mystery novels and is one of the first in the genre of “sensation novels”

One night on a road to London a young drawing teacher, Walter Hartright, meets a mysterious woman dressed all in white. But, who is she and what is her connection with his pupil Laura Fairlie, the woman he loves? We can find terrible secrets, abductions, cruel aristocrats, etc…

In my opinion the book is interesting and it is not difficult to understand. But for me, it is not a real mystery book. If you want to know why, you´ll have to read it.

Valoración: 4/5

It

It seems Conan but it is Macbeth. A graphic version of one of Shakespeare’s tragedies. A fun and easy way to read (and listen to) Shakespeare without dying in the attempt

Título: Curse this House

Autor: Barbara Wood

Obra adaptada: No

Nivel: avanzado

Review: When her mother died, Leyla returns to her home in Pemberton. She left home when she was five years old, after her father and her mother died and has no memory of the incident. She remembers little things of the time she spent in the house and she wants to discover the mystery of her family and the house, the mansion of Pemberton Hurst.

In my opinion the book is interesting and it is not the typical romantic novel, but it is difficult to understand. The author has a roundabout way of telling things, but little by little it is possible to understand it. You can find a romantic novel with a little bit of mystery.
