Published in instalments in 1859, The Woman in White is often considered to be one of the very first detective novels. Although critics weren’t impressed at the time, the novel proved to be a hit with the public and has since gone on to become one of the timeless classics of the Victorian era.

Following the adventures of Walter Hartright, this is a story of sleuthing, inheritance, ghosts and mistaken identity and was recently the subject of a hit TV adaptation by the BBC.

Billy Howle, best known for his starring roles in On Chesil Beach opposite Saoirse Ronan, and with Richard Gere in MotherFatherSon, breathes new life into the masterpiece in this Audible Studios production.

Billy Howle on The Woman in White.

The Woman in White is a brilliantly plotted thriller, and Billy Howle’s narration brings it brilliantly to life: it felt not a minute too long; and the (to me) familiar plot felt newly fresh. Please, Audible, commission Billy Howle to read The Moonstone and Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend!

Outstanding narration!

Billy Howle gives a really excellent performance of this story, and the sound quality is also good. The first part of the story is very tense and it makes you very angry, but the second part is very enjoyable as you start to see the chance of retribution and justice.

Excellent narration of a classic story

the reading of this story I found easy to listen too. they was a good level of different voices for the characters. even though two of the main characters were female and the book is read by a male, it was not an issue. the story moves along well and is covered by the various characters throughout the book. it portrays well how women were treated years ago, and the consequences of fighting back. the book is so much better than the recent tv series and I would highly recommend.

loved at school and really enjoyed reading again
