About this book
The Moonstone follows the disappearance of a valuable Indian diamond and the investigation that unfolds through several narrators. Readers interested in early detective fiction and classic Victorian mystery will find it worthwhile.
Wilkie Collins
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
