Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
A BBC Radio adaptation by Michael Bakewell of Daphne du Maurier's classic 1936 gothic suspense novel.
The year is 1815. After her parents' deaths, Mary Yellan has been forced to sell her family's farm and move to Cornwall to stay with her Aunt Patience and her aunt's husband Joss Merlyn, the owners and proprietors of the gloomy and threatening Jamaica Inn...an inn with no guests and an unsavory reputation; also, her formerly-lively aunt is now merely a shadow of her former self and her uncle is a drunken bully.
Soon after her arrival, Mary quickly finds out that the inn is mistrusted by the local population and that her uncle may be closely involved with a group of suspicious men who may be "wreckers" - men who lure ships into crashing on the rocks along the coast so that their cargoes may be looted...and their crews murdered.
Mary soon becomes involved in a world where it becomes difficult to know whom to trust and where what she thinks she knows may not be true...and may succeed in getting her killed...
