While the first half took me nearly a month to get into, everything kind of came together in the latter part and I ended up finishing it in a day. Really well written, creepy, suspenseful and eerie. I'm not surprised Hitchcock was the one to adapt Rebecca.
The main character was fascinating....written as the heroine with a rich interior world but is without a past or even a name of her own. She's irritating at times, but i still found her relatable with her imagination and tendency to catastrophise.
Also, the reoccurring image of Rebecca still being mistress of the house beyond the grave is such a haunting one.
However, I did kind of guess the plot twist before it happen due to the general sketchiness of the characters involved. Still a brilliant creepy read though :)
