About this listen

This is heralded as the very first mystery novel. Collins, in his great work, created the guidelines for the genre as we know it today: a fabulous diamond stolen, everyone in the house is suspected, three mysterious Indians sworn to protect the jewel at all costs, the upstairs/downstairs tension from the servants, and a brilliant detective who is eccentrically fond of roses.

Two wins: great story and excellent narration

Considered a classic in detective stories - - most authorities of the genre call this book the first complete detective novel, The Moonstone deserves all the accolades coming its way. The language and the epistolary style serves it well. The plot is intricate and incorporates well-developed characters.

The narration by B. J. Harrison is superb!
