Review
This biography of Collins, author of the first detective novel in modern fiction, is recommended as supplemental reading for any pursuing a serious course of Collins study: it first appeared in 1988, and this latest edition includes the story of a new Collins manuscript discovery as well as a fine set of insights on his complete works and life. -- Midwest Book Review
