Daphne Du Maurier Books: gothic suspense, family sagas and romance

“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.”

— Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

There's a particular thrill in a Du Maurier novel: a house that seems to breathe, a stranger who isn't quite what they claim to be, a sense of dread that builds a page at a time until you can't put the book down. Her stories have a way of staying with you long after the final chapter.

Stock typically includes titles like Frenchman's Creek, Hungry Hill, The Flight of the Falcon and The Scapegoat, each set in a different corner of Europe, from the Cornish coast to the Italian countryside.

Each book is inspected and described individually, and new Du Maurier titles are added as genuine copies come in.
