Mary Farren went into the gun room one morning about half-past
eleven, took her husband's revolver and loaded it, then shot
herself. The butler heard the sound of the gun from the
pantry...The fourteen haunting stories in this collection span the
whole of Daphne du Maurier's writing career and explore every human
emotion: an apparently happily married woman commits suicide; a
steamer in wartime is rescued by a mysterious sailing-ship; a dull
husband breaks loose in a surprising fashion; a con woman plays her
game once too often; and a famous novelist looks for romance, only
to meet with bitter disappointent. Each meticulously observed tale
shows du Maurier's mastery of the genre.
