A well-written, gripping, gothic thriller that offers variation in the narrative with romance, violence, and tension. Du Maurier writes with expression, yet remains accessible in reading, making the novel easy to read and hard to put down. This is reinforced with a reasonably fast moving plot, and exaggerated characters that conform to the dark stereotypes central to this novel's style. In minor criticism, perhaps a slightly predicable ending and a questionable romance, but nonetheless, a novel to recommend and a strong, interesting, read. 3.75 Stars!
