My Cousin Rachel is a 1951 historical mystery novel by Daphne du Maurier. It has been adapted several times, most notably as the 1952 film My Cousin Rachel (1952) (which Du Maurier disliked for not being faithful enough to the novel). Other adaptations include a 1983 miniseries, two radio adaptations, a theatre production, and a 2017 film.Philip Ashley lost his parents as a child and has been raised by his older cousin Ambrose. When Philip is in his twenties Ambrose goes to Italy. While there he meets and marries Rachel Sangalletti, who is distantly related to the Ashleys. Ambrose takes ill and dies before he can return to England. But Philip receives two alarming letters written during his illness, which suggest Ambrose's death wasn't natural and Rachel may have been involved.Rachel herself comes to stay with Philip, who initially wants to hate her but instead falls in love with her. Then he begins to suffer from severe headaches, exactly like Ambrose did... | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
| My Cousin Rachel / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Ambrose's father and (possibly) Ambrose himself died of a brain tumour. The word "cancer" is never used to describe this. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| My Cousin Rachel / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Everything involving Ambrose's death and Philip's headaches. Was Rachel poisoning them both? Did Ambrose simply die of a brain tumour? Were Philip's headaches caused by his fever? The book never answers these questions. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| My Cousin Rachel / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Philip hilariously fails to pick up on any of the very obvious hints that his godfather's daughter Louise is head over heels for him. | |

Book Ends: The book starts and ends with Philip thinking about the now-discontinued practice of hanging criminals beside the road. The wording is the same. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| My Cousin Rachel / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Is Rachel innocent or guilty? Philip never knows for sure, so neither do we. As soon as a piece of evidence supporting one interpretation pops up, another follows that seems to prove the exact opposite. | |

The Ace | |
| My Cousin Rachel / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Rachel is very beautiful, intelligent, well-mannered, cultured and good at everything she does, whether it is gardening, decorating, entertaining and riding. Her talents are very quickly remarked upon by everybody who meets her. | |

Murder by Inaction: Philip lets Rachel go for a walk, knowing she'll cross an unfinished bridge that won't bear her weight. Sure enough, she falls through the bridge and dies. | |
