A wonderfully atmospheric mystery

I first read this book when I was in my teens, along with all of Daphne Du Maurier's other novels. It is a very suspenseful work and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It also really evokes the beauty of the Cornish countryside.

Compelling reading with an unexpectable twist in the story.

I first starting reading this book in 1971 for cse studies at school although I only read about a third of the story. Now, thirty years on I felt that I needed to read it and see what the story was really about and am so glad that I have. I found the story to be interesting, and anyone who likes murder, mystery and suspense, with a hint of romance, then take a step back in time and get absorbed within this twisting tale. Truly, I found it magnificent and unable to put the book down.

The Inn talked about in this book really exists up on Bodmin moor in Cornwall.The story is of a young girl,named Mary who when her mother dies, goes to live with her aunt and her husband who own the Inn.Mary soon discovers her uncles arrogant and aggressive nature,but with her friend the vicar of Alturnun the Inn isn't that bad .Or is it?I found this book really easy to read and it actually felt like I was there.This is a wonderful story of smugglers and mystery.

Simply The Best - Leslie Temby

So many times I have driven past Jamaca Inn, the wide open moorland has not changed over the years, the Innn is a true place it really exsists, Now it is hard to think of the place back in the early 1800s its now a friendly place to visit so warm,the wreckers have gone but the church at Alternum still stands and for those who have read this thrilling tale of how things might have been in 19th centuary Cornwall stands as a reminder of the Rev Davey. Pick this book up and you will never put it down until you have finished, and then you will want to read it again. As a true Cornishman I can tell you that this book is well worth the read,
