The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
5.0
I don't know how anyone could give The Moonstone less than 5 stars - it's absolutely fantastic.
The style of narration must have been as enjoyable to write as it is to read (if not more!); the voices Collins creates are so interesting and also afford much humour at times. Also I found the use of documents, within narratives that are documents themselves, fascinating.
Considering The Moonstone is presented as the first detective novel in English Literature, I found the story no less gripping than a modern detective novel, probably more actually.
A must-read!
