"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again."
With these words, the reader is ushered into an isolated gray stone mansion on the windswept Cornish coast, as the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter recalls the chilling events that transpired as she began her new life as the young bride of a husband she barely knew.

Like many books, the start is a bit slow but it gets better and better as you read it. Definitely recommend it.
30+ years on after my first reading and I am still left with the "THAT'S what this was all building to??!!" impression. Ms du Maurier really didn't stick the landing at all. Hitchcock did a better conclusion, this just stopped.
I think this book is really just a joke Ms duMaurier played on the literary world: "You all thought you were going to get a ghost story but nope you get MURDER!"
I am impressed in the way the two Mrs de Winters are the opposite sides of one very self obsessed and overdramatic coin.
