Gaston Leroux spiega in questa famoso romanzo, pubblicato nel 1910, tutta la sua passione per il mistero e i trabocchetti, già noti al pubblico nel "Mistero della camera gialla" (che fu pubblicato tre anni prima). Qui lo scenario è molto più importante: l'Opéra di Parigi, che contiene un mondo sotterraneo ignoto ai più, ove si trova persino un lago. E il leggendario fantasma sarà poi davvero un essere soprannaturale? L'archetipo del mostro e della bella viene riproposto in questo avvincente romanzo, insieme a note ironiche e romantiche che colorano di rosa il nero del mistero.

Un vero rompicapo poliziesco: un delitto commesso in una stanza ermeticamente chiusa. Leroux cita espressamente i suoi colleghi autori che hanno proposto rompicapi simili: Edgar Allan Poe e Arthur Conan Doyle. Il personaggio in grado di risolvere il mistero è profondamente diverso da Sherlock Holmes: è un giovane reporter di appena diciott'anni soprannominato Rouletabille, che, a fine romanzo, l'autore promette di far diventare il protagonista di altri suoi romanzi. Ma il romanzo è davvero ben congegnato e nessun dettaglio rimane privo di spiegazione.
