They are not necessarily physically sick, but mentally and psychologically sick. It is a period when old values had been destroyed and new ones had yet to be established. This is also a book about the lost generation. The people don’t seem to know what to do or what to look for. They are completely lost. 在小说中作者试图描写病态人的生活。他们不是一定生理上的病态，只是精神上和心理上的病态。这是一个旧价值已经被毁灭，新价值仍然正在建设中的时期。这也是关于迷失一代的书。人们似乎并不知道做什么或者寻找什麽。他们彻底的迷失了。 Wilkie Collins(1824-1889), the author of The Moonstone, wrote several detective novels, in which he established a number of conventions that became the prerequisites for the detective novel today. He is therefore regarded as the father of the modern detective novel. Besides the two masterpieces, The Woman in White and The Moonstone, he also wrote The Law and the Lady, The Dead Secret and The Fallen Leaves. Wilkie Collins是《月亮石》的作者，写过几部侦探小说，在小说中，他建立了一些范例，如今都变成了今天侦探小说的先决条件。他因此被认为是现代侦探小说之父。除了两部代表作，《白衣女郎》和《月亮石》，他还写了《法律和女士》《死亡秘密》
