I wasn't sure I would like this book, but found myself pleasantly entertained by it. It's not the nail biting suspense of Harlan Coben or Gillian Flynn, but I can certainly see why Alfred Hitchcock adapted it. It's the type of suspense that makes you jump every time a floor board squeaks even when nothing is happening in the story; just the idea that something MAY happen!
So much of what duMaurier writes in this 1938 Modern Classic is still accurate to today's time.
