A brand-new recording of the classic work, narrated by Kathryn Drysdale, star of Bridgerton and The Windsors.

An unforgettable story of murder, mystery and passion, from the bestselling author of Rebecca.
No human being could live in this wasted country and remain like other people; the very children would be born twisted . . .

After the death of her mother, Mary Yellan crosses the windswept Cornish moors to Jamaica Inn, the home of her Aunt Patience. But she finds Patience a changed woman, cowering before her domineering, vicious husband Joss. Behind its crumbling walls, the inn harbours a dark secret - and Mary is soon dragged into a dangerous world of smuggling and murder. Disturbed by her powerful attraction to Joss's younger brother, and in fear of her life, Mary is forced to cross her own moral line to save herself.

A dark and gripping gothic tale, masterfully written by one of the twentieth century's best loved storytellers.

A classic and probably a must listen but be warned not the most cheering of stories! Katherine Drysdale does an absolutely amazing job of the narration… the voices she produces for the various characters are fantastic and in particular the male voices! I didn’t know she was so talented!

Wonderful narration

This book is just pure old-fashioned adventure which is not shy of exploring human darkness and malevolence. The heroine is pretty feisty (considering this was written nearly a century ago) and I would vote Jem and Mary to outdo Elizabeth and Mr Darcy as star-crossed true lovers. The narration is excellent, and the voices of Joss, Jem, and Mary are perfect. Readers should be advised that there is an aspect to the story which would be considered questionable nowadays. I don't want to specify to avoid spoilers.
