First published 2013
A naïve young woman marries Maxim de Winter, a brooding widower, and arrives at Manderley—his sprawling Cornish estate. Immediately, she feels suffocated by the lingering memory of Rebecca, Maxim's sophisticated first wife. Every room, every servant's glance seems to measure her against Rebecca's perfect memory. As whispers and secrets accumulate, the new Mrs. de Winter discovers that her husband's past is far darker than she imagined. Someone knows what really happened to Rebecca—and that knowledge could destroy everything. In a house where silence speaks volumes, she must unravel the truth before it consumes her.
