About this listen

"The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins is a groundbreaking detective novel often regarded as the first of its kind in English literature. The story revolves around a priceless Indian diamond — the Moonstone — stolen from a Hindu temple and later presented to Rachel Verinder on her eighteenth birthday. That same night, the gem mysteriously disappears from Rachel's room, setting off a wild and complex investigation. Through multiple narrators, including the loyal servant Gabriel Betteredge and the eccentric Miss Clack, the narrative unfolds with twists, misunderstandings, and revelations. Suspicion falls on several characters, including Rachel's cousin Franklin Blake and the enigmatic Indian jugglers who pursue the diamond. Blending mystery, romance, and social commentary, Collins novel explores themes of colonialism, morality, and the nature of truth. "The Moonstone" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her readings of Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's Prairie Trilogy and the complete works of Jane Austen.
