    About this ebook

    The Moonstone (1868) is Wilkie Collins’s second masterpiece, the first being The Woman in White published almost a decade earlier. While both books are often classified as Gothic novels and mystery novels, The Moonstone is also reckoned to be the first detective novel of the English tongue. As long as narration is concerned, Collins makes use of the epistolary style to create even more suspense. The story is about a precious stone brought to Britain by a corrupt English military officer who has served in India. The readers are informed that the stone has a great religious value in India and that some religious zealots are sworn to protect it by all means till the end of days. Before his death, the military veteran ordered the moonstone to be bestowed to his niece Rachel Verinder. The latter organizes a birthday party during which she wears the precious stone not only in front of her English friends and relatives, but also in front of foreign house servants and Indian entertainers. Soon, the stone is reported to be stolen and an investigation starts in search for the thief among the many suspects. After hard efforts made by Rachel’s cousin Franklin Blake and a group of friends to decipher the mystery, the former discovers that the thief is none but himself. Indeed, Blake eventually understands that he has been drugged with opium and has unconsciously stolen the stone. The end of the narrative witnesses the transfer of the moonstone back to its native land.

    • 4/5
      A really good page turner of a book, where you don't really know what's going to happen next. The premise may be a little obscure and hard to believe, but the writing and the characters are excellent. Mr. Collins was a lesser known contemporary of Charles Dickens.
    • 5/5
      Old England setting detective novel.
    • 5/5
      I was prepared for how funny this book is! Miss Clack is a hoot!
    • 4/5
      I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Collins is an excellent writer and although the book is quite long I just delighted in the luxurious language and the descriptive passages. It was quite interesting as well to read the writings of the principal characters in relation to the theft of the moonstone. Because I love mysteries, I am sorry I waited to long to read this first detective novel.
    • 4/5
      19th century epistolary novel about the theft and subsequent search of a alleged cursed diamond. The story and its mystery is very engaging, but, like most serialized novels, it is very long and has numerous side-tracks and false starts.
    • 4/5
      Very enjoyable detective story.
    • 5/5
      What a story! So many twists and turns - wonderful read.
    • 4/5
      After a slow start this book turned out to be really good. I love a mystery and this one had some great twists and turns and I was surprised at how it all unfolded. Very nicely written.

      I think it was a slow start just because I needed to get my mind set into the scene and time of the book. Once I was there it was wonderful!
    • 2/5
      Slow, verbose, and lame.
    • 2/5
      I had to read this for a course I was doing on detective fiction and I'm really glad that I did. Yes it is old fashioned and all the letters and different viewpoints are a little confusing but it is still the basis of a lot of later detective fiction and is still very readable today. Don't just put it off as a classic that you should read someday - give it a go!
    • 4/5
      I'm not much of a one for mysteries, generally, but everything about this book is so irrepressibly charming and smart that I never wanted to put it down. Collins masterfully disrupts our expectations of what a Victorian novel should be and do.
    • 4/5
      Interesting for being the first modern detective story and also for its unique form (epistolary), this story throws out all kinds of plot threads as Mr. Collins leads his reader through the mystery. There are suggestions of curses and supernatural doings mixed in with unrequited love. An enjoyable read.
    • 5/5
      What an excellent book. It held me to the last with its different perspectives and the linking character of the inimitable Sergeant Cusk. The only thing I'm wondering is why it's taken my so many decades to come to it.
    • 5/5
      What can i say that hasnt already been said at some point regarding this book? Pleasantly surprised that it has survived the test of time so well and found it to be an excellent read .
    • 4/5
      I could not put this down. It has informed every detective story I have seen or read since. I thought the morphine sequence was exaggerated and then a week later I saw a Masterpiece Theatre story based on another morphine induced memory retrieval.
    • 4/5
      Well after being a mystery aficionado for years it was about time I read the seminal piece. It was well worth it. It just flowed. It was not at all hard to read like much of the literature written at that time by Collins' contemporaries like Dickens.
    • 3/5
      Truly a delightful tale, I restrict it to three stars only because the easy, meandering pace tested the limits of my impatience. In all other respects I enjoyed the book, loved and hated characters as intended, and savoured the complex interaction of differing narrative viewpoints.
    • 4/5
      This book was very interesting and rather suspenseful. I enjoyed it somewhat more than "The Woman in White", however, this, too, dragged on a bit.
    • 4/5
      This Victorian bestseller is a joy on many counts. The challenges of gripping the mystery and enjoying the twists and turns of the plot are highly complemented by the lush English facilitating them.
    • 5/5
      My first Arion Press "experience" and I'm really enjoying it -- the story itself, the feel of the book in my hands, the paper's texture, the crisp letterpress, the illustrations.
    • 5/5
      Enjoyed the story coming from the different perspectives of the characters involved. Each took you to a point and then passed on to the next character.
      Took my time and enjoyed the images painted with words by the author. Plan to read more by Wilkie Collins.
    • 4/5
      At the first glance this novel looks bland but the pace seems to catch up rapidly a few chapters onward. I loved the way the author fitted himself in various characters starting from the humble servant Gabriel Betteredge to the detective Sergeant Cuff and giving us different perspectives of the mystery that surrounds the moonstone. I do admit though that it is a tad bit different from the other detective novels I have read so far but it did quite make my day.
    • 2/5
      That we're given the story by several different narrators, who—in chronological order—were involved with the whole Moonstone affair, is a very interesting device. There's a clear voice for each section, and the whole things comes around nicely in the end.Deception, family affairs, the mystery of the East. Nice little bundle here.
    • 5/5
      This is the best book I have read in a long time. I loved the fact that the story was written in different voices. It shows a brilliant author. Mr. Collins did a wonderful job of creating a negative character in Miss Clack. She is such an unlikeable person! Sergeant Cuff was wonderful. I loved Gabriel Bettered. Actually I enjoyed reading each characters view of the happenings. Clever, clever book.
    • 3/5
      Not near as good as Woman in White - supposedly a mystery involving a gem stolen by three Indian men, the theft of which breaks apart a potential love affair.
    • 5/5
      Over 100 years old and still a fantastic read!The first "detective novel" which heralded a whole new genre in fiction, long before Sherlock, Poe or even Clouseau.........Defines the term "enduring classic."
    • 4/5
      A classic whodunnit told from multiple points of view. Engaging characters, a touch of humor, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. A goodread.
    • 4/5
      This is one of the first modern mystery stories, and it's fascinating. You absolutely cannot put it down. Plus, it has the soothing cadences that we all love in Victorian novels. Mystery readers will notice that, for a Victorian novel, the plot is not overly contrived. The story feels fairly authentic. Modern and Victorian all at once--the best of both worlds.
    • 3/5
      An entertaining story by one of the earliest mystery writers.
    • 4/5
      I read this before reading The Woman in White...and while the technique of using various narrators to carry the story forward is identical, both the mechanics and the characterisations generally are more deftly drawn in The Moonstone, one of many delights being the character of Sergeant Cuff.
