This was my third du Maurier novel and once again I really enjoyed it. While I didn't think the ending was as strong as My Cousin Rachel and Rebecca, it was dark and dramatic and still really gripped me. I love her writing and the atmosphere of her books. The ominous mood throughout and the vivid descriptions of the moors and the weather really made the book for me. I'm excited to pick up more du Maurier next year.
