Publisher Description
The coachman tried to warn her away from the ruined, forbidding place on the rainswept Cornish coast. But young Mary Yellan chose instead to honor her mother's dying request that she join her frightened Aunt Patience and huge, hulking Uncle Joss Merlyn at Jamaica Inn. From her first glimpse on that raw November eve, she could sense the inn's dark power. But never did Mary dream that she would become hopelessly ensnared in the vile, villainous schemes being hatched within its crumbling walls -- or that a handsome, mysterious stranger would so incite her passions... tempting her to love a man whom she dares not trust.

Well overdue
My brother lives in Cornwall, every time I visit him and the family I go past Jamaica Inn and wonder about the place, about its history and about this book. I love a good drop of fiction based on truth and I loved the way the writer wrote, really drew you into the characters and the atmosphere of the place. I should have read it years ago but
I am glad I waited for a hospital trip as I couldn’t put it down. A must for any inquisitive minds and I am booking in on my next trip.
