Such a brilliantly constructed book, with a really interestingly unreliable narrator. Every time you think you can pin down exactly what's happening, the narrative slips away from underneath you and forces you to rethink what you think you…

This was quite a good read. It has mystery all over it in the character Rachel. Rachel’s late husbands died rather early in their marriages to her, and her second husband, Ambrose, claimed that he was being poisoned by her. But was…

Gothic literature at it's finest! So intense, dark, is there romance? Page turner till the end!

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I looked forward to reading it every day. So much suspense, twists and turns. It is so well written, especially the main characters. The author had me in the palm of her hands. Rachel is…

I have always appreciated Dame Daphne du Murier, whose only novel I don't like so far is "Jamaica Inn." I thought that "Rebecca" was my favorite, but now I am reconsidering. "My cousin Rachel" is a magnificent suspense story, beside being…

A wonderful, Gothic suspense. The story unfolds somewhat slowly at first, but it kept me guessing and the pace picked up as it drew to its stunning conclusion. This would be a great Book Club read because of how much mystery runs…

Quite a good book! Certainly up to Ms. DuMaurier's style. Gets a little boring sometimes, it seems the same thing over and over. Rachel is hard to figure out, one minute you think she is an angel, the other minute you know for certain…
