Collins established another genre, the detective novel, with his 1968 work “The Moonstone.” A tale
of romance, theft, and murder, the story centers around the disappearance of an
enormous diamond. While maybe not a put-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller,
“The Moonstone” certainly earns its spot on the list, as it paved the way for
every other detective novel ever written.
