A gothic mystery of obsession, suspicion, and desire from Daphne du Maurier, the legendary author of Rebecca and Jamaica Inn.

A haunting tale of love and deception set in the wild landscapes of Cornwall, My Cousin Rachel grips you from the first page and leaves you questioning long after the last.

When a young heir inherits both fortune and uncertainty after the sudden death of his guardian, questions swirl around the enigmatic woman who enters his world. Is she a grieving widow--or a dangerous manipulator? Every glance, every whispered word, deepens the intoxicating tension between devotion and doubt.

Perfect for fans of gothic suspense, romantic mysteries, and psychological thrillers, this classic novel continues to enthrall generations with its unforgettable heroine, its brooding atmosphere, and its lingering ambiguity that sparks endless debate.
