The Breakthrough by Daphne du Maurier
3.0

3.5 stars.

My first taste of du Maurier and I must say it has made me hungry for more. The story started off strong, not introducing the purpose of the experiments and building the suspense was enjoyable, I found though that the story tapered once things had been revealed, and faced towards the end once it was time for the experiment to take place.

I would have liked more resolution towards the end, a more definitive feeling as to what action the characters would take after the story was ovet, but ultimately this little sci-fi short was very enjoyable and at under 60 pages I'd recommend to anyone.
