England, 1950s. It has been almost thirty years since Manderley, one of the most beautiful and oldest English estates, burned down under mysterious circumstances. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. de Winter, moved on to a somewhat pedantic life, forever victims of the things that went on at the estate after Max
de Winter's first wife, Rebecca, was murdered. What had happened to Rebecca and to Manderley? We all know Max's version -- but is there another untold sto
ry out there? Terence Gray, a young scholar who is fascinated with the old tale, wants to reopen the case, if only to write about it. And so, he seeks the help of Colonel Julyan, a distant member of the de Winters. Terence wants nothing more than to uncover hidden secrets, so he schemes his way into the colonel's life -- using Julyan's daughter, Ellie, as the perfect means for his ends. Where will all of this inquisitions lead? Is there indeed an untold story regarding Rebecca and her somewhat enigmatic life and death? Manderley may be long gone, but its legend still lives...
In all, Rebecca's Tale is an engrossing mystery, and will certainly keep you awake nights (or night?) trying to string together the trails of evidence presented. For you who are craving for stories similar to Agatha Christie's this book is definitely for you.
