Thanks for the trivia about The Moonstone. I love detective stories. Reading the first detective story ever would be a thrill. I wonder what detecting methods were used then.Kalin Adi wrote:Detective stories are not my favorite genre, but if the plot sounds interesting, I'm willing to give it a try. In fact, I would like to read 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins. It is supposed to be one of the first detective stories ever written.

Then you should definitely read The Moonstone. It was published in 1868. But the very first detective story is 'The Notting Hill' Mystery by Charles Felix. It was written six years before The Moonstone. I haven't read any of them, I just know what they are about because I had to do some research about them. But if you read them, let me know what you think about them.Miriam Molina wrote:Thanks for the trivia about The Moonstone. I love detective stories.

This is great. I also love to read the books of James Patterson but at times, I get tired of reading them because of the suspense embedded in their pages.Vivian Paschal wrote:Of course, since I was a kid! I grew up seeing my mum's detective novels all around the house. The first I read was 'Miss Malory Investigates' and it was the writer's first book but it was very enjoyable. Then I moved to Agatha Christie. Next thing I knew, I was drawn into the world of James Patterson and a host of others. It's always amazing the way they task the brain.
