We're expanding The Gibson Girl Review this week with a brand-new co-host and a pre-Gilded Age classic! Amy welcomes author and fellow old soul Amanda G. Stevens to the show, and after a little introductory session they get right down to business with this week's all new Month of Mystery! selection, THE MOONSTONE by Wilkie Collins (1868). Filled with complex characters and amazing craftsmanship, this "first modern detective novel" leaves them both shaking their heads... in the best way possible.
