  The Moonstone

  The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins is widely recognized as the very first detective novel in the English language, a masterpiece that laid the foundation for an entire genre. 
  This riveting tale begins with a priceless yellow diamond, the Moonstone, stolen from an Indian shrine by a British officer. He bequeaths the cursed gem to his niece, Rachel Verinder, on her eighteenth birthday. But that very night, the diamond vanishes from her room. 
  What follows is a labyrinthine mystery of false leads, suspicious servants, and a shadowy band of Indian jugglers seemingly bent on recovering the relic. To solve the case, the family turns to the brilliant but eccentric Sergeant Cuff, a master of deduction who would set the template for detectives to come. 
  Told through a series of captivating first-person narratives—from the loyal family steward to a love-struck housemaid and a pious, nosy cousin—the novel builds a rich and immersive picture of Victorian life. More than a mere puzzle, The Moonstone is also a sharp social commentary, remembered for its sympathetic portrayal of servants and its surprisingly respectful depiction of other cultures. 
  T. S. Eliot called it "the first, the longest, and the best of modern English detective novels." Experience the book that started it all. 
  This audiobook is based on the 1868 public domain text.

  As a reporter, Emma is used to covering Newport's social events. But this time she is appearing on the arm of her fiancé, Derrick Andrews, at a small but exclusive gathering of the New York Yacht Club at Beacon Rock, the Grecian-inspired summer "cottage" of Edwin and Elizabeth Morgan. The members—which include cousin and Yacht Club Commodore John Pierpoint Morgan and widow Lucy Carnegie, the first woman to be admitted to the Club—are there to discuss their strategy for the next America's Cup Challenge, to be held in New York Harbor the following summer. 
   
   
    
  But it's Emma who must come up with a strategy when she discovers a woman's body bobbing against one of the hulls of the boats moored at the base of Beacon Rock. Is it possible she fell from the Newport ferry and was carried by the tide? Or could she have drowned herself or fallen victim to foul play? 
   
   
    
  After the woman is identified as the missing daughter of a yacht designer, the police—with the exception of Emma's friend Detective Jesse Whyte—hastily conclude she is a suicide, perhaps to quiet any scandal for the Morgans, since her body was found floating near their property. But Emma suspects the woman was murdered and begins to sort through a who's who of sportsmen, boat crews, and the Newport elite in search of a stone-cold killer . . .
