Basil Wilkie Collins English
Early Collins, before he learned restraint, and honestly that's the fun: a young man secretly marries a shopkeeper's daughter he saw once on an omnibus, and everything curdles from there. If you like your Victorian melodrama feverish and a bit unhinged, this scratches that itch.
No Name Wilkie Collins English
Magdalen Vanstone loses her whole inheritance on a legal technicality and decides to scheme it back, disguises and sham marriage included, and you spend the whole book rooting for someone doing genuinely dubious things. Captain Wragge, her con-artist accomplice, nearly steals it.
The Law and the Lady Wilkie Collins English
Valeria finds out her new husband was once tried for poisoning his first wife, verdict Not Proven, and decides to solve it herself when everyone tells her to drop it. She's stubborn in a way that's genuinely satisfying, and wait until you meet Miserrimus Dexter.
