The Moonstone is an English detective novel about the theft of a large, cursed Indian diamond from Rachel Verinder's bedroom on her eighteenth birthday, unraveling through multiple character testimonies to reveal a complex mystery involving love, betrayal, and deception. Considered a masterpiece of Victorian sensation fiction, it established many conventions of the genre, including the systematic investigation by a detective (Sergeant Cuff) and a surprise culprit, with T.S. Eliot calling it "the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels."
