A new edition Wilkie Collins's classic novel with a new introduction by bestselling crime author Val McDermid

The Moonstone, a yellow diamond looted from an Indian temple and believed to bring bad luck to its owner, is bequeathed to Rachel Verinder on her eighteenth birthday. That very night the priceless stone is stolen again and when Sergeant Cuff is brought in to investigate the crime, he soon realizes that no one in Rachel's household is above suspicion…

"The first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels in a genre invented by Collins and not by Poe." - T.S. Eliot

"Probably the very finest detective story ever written." - Dorothy Sayers

"Probably the best detective tale in the world." - G.K. Chesterton

Willkie Collins' novel is a great pleasure to listen to, not only because of the exciting crime story, the absurd twists, and the great humour, but also because of the original narrative style. All the characters involved tell a part of the story in their very specific voice and each contribute to the solution. In this novel, which was published in 1863, servants, socially marginalised people and women all have their say. It's a pity that in the 21st century the female narrator is not even mentioned in the audiobook description. Willkie Collins would not have been amused

one of the first classic whodunits - and one of the best ones
