Jamaica Inn

Mary promises her mother on her death bed that she will go stay with her Aunt Patience after she is gone. When Mary heads out to Jamaica Inn, where her aunt and uncle reside, several try and talk her out of going there. She refuses to listen to them, and continues to make her way to the inn. But when she gets there, she finds that things are not as they seem. Her aunt has changed from a wonderful, vivacious woman, to a nervous wreck. Her uncle strong arms anyone to comes across him, and he warns her against meddling in his business. As time passes, Mary catches wind of the activities that are occurring, and she is determined to bring her uncle down. When she meets his brother, she is not sure whether she can trust him or if he is mixed up in the same business as his brother. There is one person she feels she can trust, and that is the vicar from Altarnun. She has bared her soul to him several times, and she feels that she can rely on him.
When her uncle drags her along on one of his “missions” she sees the awful truth for herself, the truth that he had only spoken about in his drunken rants. All it does is strengthen her resolve to bring him down and get her aunt as far from Jamaica Inn as she can.
But things do not go as she planned, her uncle seems to be two steps ahead of everyone and its not looking like her aunt will ever leave the Inn...

This was an awesome read, and I enjoyed every page of it! I was not ready for it to be over, but enjoyed the way that the author wrapped up the ending. If you are looking for a quick and fun read, this is it! Daphne du Maurier never disappoints!
