Jamaica Inn

Author: Daphne du Maurier

Written in the thirties, this is a historical romance/suspense set in the days after pirates, but before law and order on the coast of Cornwall. Wreckers lure ships onto reefs and rocks, murder the passengers & sailors and make off with the loot.

Not sure if I was unhappy with her choice of villain or not - it seemed a bit gothic to make the albino vicar the bad guy.
