Rebecca

I always heard this was a must-read book and I can see why. This book is phenomenal at setting an atmosphere and it doesn’t let up. There is a constant presence of the former wife Rebecca felt throughout the book.

The reason this isn’t a five start for me is simply because of how many hints the author gives away. The suspension is slightly lost when you understand more then the main character. It’s both good and bad that the main character is naïve, but since the readers are not it’s hard to suspend your understanding of what has happened. Since there is this gap, you simply have to wait for the main character to catch up and we end up going though some unnecessary scenes.

The writing and overall story are great. I honestly could not put this book down until I finished it.
