The inn is derelict, and no decent folks will come to it, speaking of it in fearful whispers. When Mary Yellan joins her aunt, married to the owner, she soon finds she has but two friends on the wild moors--the mysterious parson and an insolent, likeable horsethief.
I enjoyed this much more than Rebecca. Rebecca's female protagonist is so weak, I just didn't enjoy the book that much. In Jamaica Inn, we have a much spunkier protagonist, which is good because this is a straight up thriller and she is in danger from the very beginning. Highly recommended.
