Wilkie Collins' novels are full of mysteries. The famous English writer makes them unravel not only his characters, but also the readers, to whom he gives in his hands only a thread from the tangle of tangled events. And although Collins is recognized as the founder of the detective genre ("Moonstone" is considered the first detective novel in English), the main mysteries in his books - the secrets of the heart. Perhaps the psychological depth and authenticity of the characters Wilkie Collins owes friendship with Charles Dickens. It was the latter with his advice and support helped Collins to find his own way in literature. The best novels of Wilkie Collins were published in Dickens's magazines, some works they even wrote together. "Moonstone" was published in chapters in Dickens' magazine "Year Round", and numerous fans of Collins' work gathered at the editorial office to be the first to get a fresh issue. They were concerned with both the story of the diamond theft and the relationship of the characters, whose feelings were seriously tested because of the theft of the precious stone. But is Rachel Verinder's neglect of Franklin Black a consequence of the cooling of her feelings, or does it indicate an entirely different depth to them? It is the secrets of the heart that turn out to be the key to solving the disappearance of the diamond, which with its mysterious light illuminated all the corners of human souls.
