The Moonstone is a mystery novel by English author Wilkie Collins, published in 1868. It is considered one of the first detective novels in English and has been praised for its intricate plot and realistic characters.

William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
