Having seen so many Dracula movies, I was expecting the book to be equally inelegant. What a mistake to go through life without having read this book. The first many pages are one of the most suspenseful opening passages in the history of literature. The narration of the accountant's ride to the castle and what he found there, should be given time in college literature classes even where the subject is not horror. Whatever genre Stoker was writing in - horror, thriller, investigation, narrative, whatever - he set a pattern which few of transgressed.
A little scary

A quick and easy read. I kept wondering if I had missed a clue. I probably had missed more than one. The story was so straightforward, in a sense, that I kept falling over myself looking for something that wasn't there. There is no pretension here, just straightforward honesty, except, naturally, on the part of the murderer, who is impossible to identify. I knew, or thought I knew, the killer was someone obvious. Yet each time I began to suspect one person, something would happen that freed him from my suspicion. Thank goodness, Sheriff Marshall had more perseverance than I do, or the mystery might never have been solved. As it is, the murderer probably had a bigger "hand" in solving it than the Sheriff did. Generally, a good book, easier to read than other mysteries I tried to get interested in.
