Wilkie Collins novels that were more or less all fun reads. If you need an entry point for Victorian fiction, these were the mystery and/or thriller novels of the day. I recommend getting editions with some form of endnotes for figuring out cultural references that no longer have context. The Oxford World's Classics footnotes are sometimes amusing in their own right, in the most dry British way possible. https://bookrastinating.com/list/524/s/wilkie-collins #bookstodon #19thcbritishnovels #1800s #WilkieCollins
