A Recommendation

Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone. Read it; it's fabulous. Especially if you have a fondness for nineteenth century writing, which I do. Writers in the nineteenth century preferred character development over plot, so the book sometimes moves slowly, but the characters who narrate the story more than make up for the pace.

Also, it's considered to be one of the first mystery novels. Actually, he wrote one before The Moonstone called The Woman in White, but people seem to prefer The Moonstone generally. I'll let you know how I feel after I finish WIW. Thank you, and good night.
