Back in early January, I read another of Collins's novels, The Dead Secret. It predates The Woman In White but uses quite a few of the same ideas, including characters of similar types or who play similar roles in the story. Overall, I would say that The Woman In White is definitely better and makes better use of the elements that are in both books... but the character in The Dead Secret who I interpret as the counterpart of Mrs Clements is truly truly delightful and tbh I think I will read The Dead Secret again in the future just for his sake.
