  Love a mystery? Then be sure to join the JCC for the Mystery Book Club which explores classic who-dun-its, thrillers and everything in between For February, the Mystery Book Club will discuss the multi-million-copy bestseller Rebecca. In Monte Carlo, our heroine is swept off her feet by the dashing widower Maxim de Winter and his sudden proposal of marriage. Orphaned and working as a lady's maid, she can barely believe her luck. It is only when they arrive at Manderley, her husband's cavernous estate on the Cornish coast, that she realizes how vast a shadow his late wife, Rebecca, will cast over their lives' introducing a lingering evil that threatens to destroy their love from beyond the grave. Excellent entertainment...Du Maurier created a scale by which modern women can measure their feelings.--Stephen King One of the most influential novels of the twentieth century, Rebecca has woven its way into the fabric of our culture with all the troubling power of myth or dream.--Sarah Waters
