The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
3.0

Enjoyable first detective mystery written in English.

I was able to figure out the mystery of 'who done it' quite early. The way the mystery is solved is so far fetched, it is worth reading for those portions. The elapse of time since it was written makes several portions of the story line overly predictable, and others much less predictable than when it was originally written.

I love the peak into the past too.
