damned_kat 's review for:

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
2.0

Recognized as the first mystery novel, Willie Collins gains the attention of the reader through the views displayed by several characters in the form of a memoir or rather the report of the character regarding the events of the crime. Its very long and gets tedious at times but it's worth waiting till the end.
There is a lot of repetition among the dialogues of characters and that's because the book was first published as a serialized story in the newspaper when it was being written.
