I listen to audiobooks while on my nordictrack. I am enjoying this audiobook a lot. I recommend it as a very interesting and different detective story.

The Moonstone
From Mark McLaughlin of Simi Valley, California on 5/16/2015.

"The Moonstone" is very cleverly written by Wilkie Collins. The gem itself is one of Alfred Hitchcock's MacGuffins.The real story is in the lives of those involved--their personalities and relationships, which are intricate and entertaining. The narration of this title is extremely well performed by BJ Harrison. He captures the feelings in the characters' dialog.

Loads of fun
From Desmond Johnson of Saratoga, California on 11/12/2013.

The humor, tone and time period all come through in BJ's reading. The book has several literary devices typical of the period, for example changing the narrator and "documentary" style of presentation. It expresses the interests and prejudices of the period as well, such as the popularity of amateur natural science research amongst professional classes and the gentry.
It's a little long winded by today's standards, but not tiresome at all. Plenty of plot and character interest to keep the listener . . .
