Just to add my support for The Moonstone and also The Woman in White. He wrote dozens of full-length novels, but those two are easily his best known - and with good reason. They're both gripping yarns.

It's true that he's been compared with Conan Doyle, but these aren't the same kind of detective stories as Sherlock Holmes. A better comparison would be with Charles Dickens.
