'Du Maurier is mistress of the sleight of hand in fiction . . . brilliantly, marvellously chilling' MAGGIE O'FARRELL
'Every day, haunted still by doubt, I ask myself a question which I cannot answer.
Was Rachel innocent or guilty?'
Philip Ashley has been raised by his cousin Ambrose as heir to his beautiful Cornish estate. But this close-knit world is shattered when Ambrose sets off on a trip to Florence, where he unexpectedly falls in love and marries - only to die of a strange illness. Before long, his beautiful, mysterious widow arrives in England - and despite himself, Philip is caught in her spell. But is Rachel a victim, a saviour - or a murderess?
Du Maurier is a storyteller whose sole aim is to bewitch and beguile' NEW YORK TIMES

Press Reviews
- Guardian
She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
Margaret Forster
No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do
- New York Times Book Review
From the first page . . . the reader is back in the moody, brooding atmosphere of Rebecca
- New York Times
Du Maurier is a storyteller whose sole aim is to bewitch and beguile. And in My Cousin Rachel she does both, with Rebecca looking fondly over her shoulder
- Sunday Telegraph
Du Maurier has no equal
- Kirkus Reviews
This comes closer to Rebecca than anything Miss du Maurier has done and is, I think, one of her best novels, ingeniously contrived as to plot, successfully realized as to characters
