tculp 's review for:
Jamaica Inn
by Daphne du Maurier
I have loved Rebecca for so long, and always wanted to read another du Maurier, and I"m so glad I did. And I didn't even know it takes place over Christmas when I picked it up mid-December. It's the story of a young woman who is orphaned (of course) and sent to live with her aunt and uncle at Jamaica Inn - a creepy forsaken inn and pub on the moors. She discovers immediately that her aunt has gone almost out of her mind with fright and strain, and begins to uncover what is really going on at the inn. Of course she becomes involved in the mystery and in danger, and all other good things that happen in a gothic Victorian romance. Well-written and engaging - it was a super-fun spooky holiday read.
