I just spent 4.99 of my holiday gift on this book and for me that's probably equivalent to you dropping a 100 on a purse or tech gadget.  Totally hoard my book allowance for my 'wish list' that is checked regularly for price drops.  But can not wait any longer for this one to get discounted anymore than this - ever since it FINALLY became available in ebook form, I have coveted it mightily!! And want others who haven't to read it - some popular fiction is timeless and I think this is a good example.  I read scifi, dark Icelandic/Scandanavian mysteries, thrillers, dark horror, British village mysteries, urban fantasy - if it's a good book, I'll read it.  Rebecca is a GOOD book.  A superb dark mystery, a shining example of what a good gothic can be, and again, a good old fashioned excellent read.  One of the positive aspects of having parents who were old enough to be my grandparents - both my parents were born at the beginning of the 20th century - they were both readers from a time when books were read by everyone (or someone read it to you) on par with the way we watch tv shows or online podcasts.  They turned me on to some plain old good reads - timeless stories, well written, well researched when needed - tales that picked you up and swept you along until they set you back down with "the end".  Rebecca, Something of Value, The Devil's Advocate, Main Street, Tobacco Road, Gone With the Wind, Dragonwyck, The Good Earth, and I could go on and on - and whether you are female or male, if you enjoy a well written story that takes you on a wild ride that sneaks up on you and keeps you on the edge of your seat - read this book!
