Review ebook My Cousin Rachel
WOW! I liked MY COUSIN RACHEL even better than REBECCA!
This dark old-fashioned style mystery gives the reader plenty of clues to contemplate, some suspicious evil characters to dissect and others who’s naïvety and impulsive acts will make you want to scream with frustration…..or it did me.
As for the ending….I loved it, but you’ll have to decide for yourself if Rachel is innocent or guilty of a crime(s)……but IMHO (view spoiler)[ she is absolutely, positively 100% guilty, guilty, guilty!!! WOW! I liked MY COUSIN RACHEL even better than REBECCA!

And I still cannot believe all the clues Philip destroyed, but then…..thankfully, it did not matter in the least. (hide spoiler)]
What a great classic tale!

Update: March 7, 2017
Lucked out (Yes!) and caught the 1954 movie version with Richard Burton and Olivia de Havilland on TMC just 5 minutes in…..
Really enjoyed it, but definitely not as much as the book. The written word was more mysterious and had a stronger undercurrent of evil…..Still a good flick though. …more
