First half of this book I was sure this book was only getting 3 stars from me because I was getting frustrated with the shy, timid narrator, but halfway through I couldn't put the book down. It's very skillfully plotted and the reader is placed in an uneasy position of hoping the hero escapes justice. It's brilliant and suspenseful. The themes explored in the book are so much deeper than what's apparent on the surface. Du Maurier's writing is 5-star quality.
