I am hoping to read some more du Maurier soon!
My teaser comes from The Night Villa by Carol Goodman
I love du Maurier, but I don’t remember this title. Hummmm I wonder if I’ve read it.
Ah, what sharp writing! I hope you enjoy it; it sounded interesting when you first posted about it.
Great teaser! I’ve been wanting to read more of Daphne’s novels, I just never have the time. Someday! My teaser is at The Crowded Leaf.
Hope you’re enjoying it. I love DuMaurier! She can just pull you into the moment so easily.
Wonderful description…almost poetic!
Here’s my teaser, from the novel “Sweet Poison” by Ellen Hart.
