Liked this one more than I thought I was going to. The biggest issue I had was only feeling annoyance at the protagonist's lack self confidence and personal obsession with Rebecca; it never carried over to a feeling of eeriness or suffocation like I suspect was the intended outcome.
I kept reading only because I wanted to know what had actually happened at Manderley, not because I really cared for any of the characters. What actually happened wasn't as exciting as I'd hoped, but I like that Rebecca got what she wanted in the end.
