Like her earlier masterpiece Rebecca, du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel combines the elements of mystery and romance in a complex plot set on a large country estate on the Cornish coast. The novel was adapted into the film of the same name in 1952 directed by Henry Koster and starring Richard Burton and Olivia de Havilland and again in 2017 into Roger Michell's My Cousin Rachel starring Rachel Weisz, Sam Claflin and Iain Glen.
