Jamaica Inn by Dauphne Du Maurier

I read this in October 2017
I was lent this book by Bobbo's friend Paul.
I don't usually read historical novels nor classics to be honest.
I struggled with the style of this book, although it was written in 1936 it felt very old fashioned.
Mary Yellan goes to live with her aunt on the Cornish Moors at Jamacia Inn.  The Inn is a front for smugglers and a gang of criminals, Wreckers, who lure ships to the shore and wreck them and murder any survivors, just to get the cargo.
Too much romance, not enough history for me.
