That night, its taken from her room. Thus begins the mystery at the heart of Wilkie Collins 1868 novel, The Moonstone. As the listener learns, Rachels diamond is wanted by three Hindu priests who have sworn to recover the religious artifact. Rachels love interest, Franklin Blake, searches for the gem. The possible suspects include three Indian jugglers at the party and a maid who mysteriously drowned herself shortly afterwards. Given a measured reading by Walter Covell in an English accent, Collins mystery story is chock full of intriguing characters and unexpected turns that lead to a surprising resolution.
