destrier 's review for:

Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
2.0

I love [b:Frenchman's Creek|84573|Frenchman's Creek|Daphne du Maurier|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347336421l/84573._SY75_.jpg|2973873] and [b:Rebecca|17899948|Rebecca|Daphne du Maurier|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386605169l/17899948._SX50_.jpg|46663] but DNF this book at 40%. I read a plot summary and am glad that I did. Compared to du Maurier's other greatest hits, the underlying motivation for the protagonist is weak, the action is slow, and the setting lacks romance.
