I really did not like this collection. My overwhelming feeling is that du Maurier is just not the right author for short stories, and she seems to lack the ability to wrap them up. They seem hastily concluded, especially Don't Look Now, which had so much potential but almost seemed to be stopped short. I want to still read her novel, Rebecca, so hopefully her writing works better in long-form content.
