I was just excited to read this book after reading The Woman in White, and it was really worth it.



The Moonstone is a very rare Indian diamond with a curse, when is stolen, some say very dark things will occur. Given, as a birthday gift, to Rachel Verinder, she doesn't even suspect of its history, and when the moonstone disappears, everything goes mad. Rachel starts to act weird, could she have faked its disappearance? And all the other guests in the party? Or specially the Indians that were surrounding the house??

Once again, we have a lot of characters, and very well constructed, each one of them has their specific characteristic and strong personalities. The book is divided in different point of views, depending on how the plot develops to the search of the moonstone! Betteredge is just sweet, he's the steward of the house and is completely insane about Robinson Crusoe, it's like his sacred book!! It reminded, how sometimes I too act like some books are the most awesome things in the whole world and the general people don't get it or me... And how he finds Franklin Blake 'divided' in 4 personalities, for each part of the world he has been and acting according to it. I think he was my favorite character! =D

The only thing that kept me from giving this book 5 stars was the length of it. At a point, in the middle of the developments, I was just tired, it seemed to drag and drag and going round and round... But the end made it worth! It's completely unpredictable, and there are so many variables that we discover new things until the very last page!
