I understood that The Moonstone is a classic so I chose to read this to be culturally literate. Well the tale line may be appealing but the writing is atrocious. It is curricular, bloated, and seemingly pointless.
The characters just keep rattling. A lot of writers fill in the tale with descriptions of time and place to give an atmosphere to the tale. This writer (Wilkie Collins) just fills it with unrelated trivia.
Every once in a while I would go back a few pages to see what I must have missed. When I read again there was nothing there to miss. Ether Wilkie is extremely monotonous or additional writing from this period is and I am just now lucky enough to find out.
I talked to others about this and they said; “Now you know why Sherlock Holmes is so well loved” (as an alternative which is much better written)

Rumor has it that this is the first detective novel in the English language. This is a free edition.
Simple to read, not as much action as I expected from the wild plot premise — a cursed Indian diamond.
Mostly it is of past interest — I did not find it gripping, and the humorous writing style is a small dated, but the prose is reasonably acceptable.
A worthy addition to one’s Kindle library, though not something I would read over and over again.

For a fun read, well written and clean, you can’t miss with this one. The characters are unique, the plot is well-paced. It won’t keep you up at night with suspense but the wit and twists will keep you entertained and engaged.

This is an brilliant mystery. I read it after reading “The Woman in White.” I like the Woman in White better, but both are incredible. Once I got used to the style (1800’s British), it is a fantastic read. He is one of my favorite authors.

I bought this novel based on additional Amazon reviews and I just loved it!! It’s clever, engaging, and certainly a page turner. Get it!
