Minor: Suicide and Gun violence
This book is set in 1930s England. There's some mention of husbands abusing their wives, though nobody in the book is physically abused themselves. There is a discussion of gun use in relation to murder, though it is minor. One character can be seen as obsessive.mai24's review against another edition

Great twists and when you think it’s over it’s not, all the way to the end. Really, hat’s off to Daphné du Maurier. Excited to watch the adaptation by Hitchcock (1940) and the most recent one produced by Netflix (out of curiosity though I expect it won’t be nearly as good as Hitchcock’s). Unequivocally 5/5 read.
