Incorrectly signing her name in the marriage registry leads Valeria Woodville to discover further disturbing information about her husband, Eustace Macallan. Each revelation leads to further questions as Valeria’s journey prompts her to defy him, taking the law into her own hands as she endeavours to navigate her way through a series of false clues and obstructions. Published in 1875, The Law and the Lady is one of Collins’s later novels and is a remarkable early illustration of a female investigator as a main character. In the course of its narrative it questions Victorian society’s perspectives of both law and lady.

En föregångare till många moderna böcker. Intressant med en kvinna i huvudrollen författad av en man på 1800-talet. Bra, men väl lång. Idag skulle någon redaktör ha hjälpt att korta ner den. Eller har den kanske gått som följetong i någon tidning innan publikationen i bokform? Och tack och lov att vi inte lever i en tid då vi drar långtgående slutsatser om en persons kynne och egenskaper på basis av hur ett par händer rör sig, en haklinje, hyns ton. Jisses!
