Rebecca's Legacy continues ....

I quite like the way "Rebecca's Tale" is progressing. This definitely differs from Daphne Du Mauriers' style of writing and after reading through about half of the book it seems more to me as a Holmes/Agatha Christie type story but certainly not the suspense thriller with a supernatural dread that Rebecca brings to the readers. But then every writer has their own style and I am glad Beauman did not attempt to mimic Maurier which would have led to an absolute failure. The book in itself tends to be a page turner at times and then there are areas where we have lapses of attention. Right now, there are various dangling threads of suspense. Who is Terence Gray ? Why does he seek to know about Rebecca ? What exactly does the author reveal about Favell ? There are of course more ... I hope that the Beauman does not disappoint because I do tend to linger on about in the small details.

The publicity is quite stunning for the book itself. Take a look here. http://www.rebeccas-tale.co.uk/
