mattym 's review for:

Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
4.0

This was my first time reading du Maurier and it took a while for me to understand her popularity.
The story of Jamaica Inn takes a deal too long in the establishing and it isn't until nearly halfway into the book that it really opens up into a cracking gothic thriller that utilises the bleak Cornish countryside to great effect.
Persevered through the early chapters and you'll find yourself in a gripping tale that you will struggle to put down!
