I don't re-read many books, but over the years I keep going back to this one ... and it's a good sized book!
The lovely Moonstone has a curse on it, that dooms each owner. It's passed from hand to hand for different reasons ... sometimes as revenge with a hope the curse will "get" the next owner! There are turbaned Indians creeping around corners, in through the windows, who knows where next, trying to recover their sacred stone. Meanwhile, people who are at first thrilled to own this beautiful gem suddenly find themselves in the midst of a nightmare. The mystery rolls along pulling you in ... just my kind of a great read. Enjoy!
