The Moonstone has all the ingredients we have come to expect from a cosy crime novel: a country house, a deadly crime, a brilliant detective. This recipe is now so well known that it's almost a cliche but, in fact, this is thought to have been the first time these particular ingredients were mixed together.
But Collins published more than 30 books, so why not impress your friends by bringing up one of his many lesser-known works? Try Poor Miss Finch, which is about a blind woman who falls in love with a man who is completely blue.
