The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins

Another novella, probably intended as a short story. Murder and supernatural retribution, gotta love it. And to top it all off - it is set primarily in Venice. There is enough discussion of the more popular sights and locations to convince me that Collins did actually spend some time in Venice. This is rather more grotesque than the others of his that I have just been reading, and weaker in execution. The manner of the revelation of the crime is rather peculiar. Still this may be one of the earliest fictional applications of forensic dentistry. Were they actually doing that sort of thing in the nineteenth century?
