Barrie's play of the same name. Having not read the original, I cannot compare the two. However, this one was well-written, with good pacing as the story starts off with everything seemingly normal and ramping up the pacing of eerie/weird/macabre things happening. A lot of that is kind of vague, so if you like tidy stories with definitive conclusions, you might not like this book. However, if you like your horror more spooky than terrifying, this is the book for you. For audiophiles, narrator Henrietta Meire did a superb job of bringing out a large cast of characters with a variety of accents, ages, and genders. The book's afterword goes into details about the J.M. Barrie play, as well as Alfred Hitchcock's failed attempts to turn it into a movie. There's actually a surprising amount of biographical information about Hitchcock included here, which is a neat addition.

Mary Rose Moreland and Simon Blake are the perfect couple: successful young professionals in Philadelphia, attractive, madly in love, and ready to start a life together. When they travel to England for Simon to ask her parents' permission to marry Mary Rose, he learns an unsettling secret: Mary Rose disappeared when she was a little girl while the family was vacationing on a remote Scottish island. She reappeared mysteriously thirty-three days later in the exact same spot without a scratch on her and no memory of what had happened. After Simon hears about this disturbing episode in Mary Rose's childhood, he becomes obsessed with finding out what happened. He proceeds to launch his own investigation and arranges during their honeymoon for them to visit the island where she disappeared. But as Mary Rose's behavior gets stranger after their engagement, the need for Simon to unlock the truth about her past grows even more urgent. What he uncovers is beyond his most terrifying fears. Mary Rose is author Geoffrey Girard's chilling and modern take on a classic ghost story originally written by J. M. Barrie. And for years, master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock attempted to adapt Mary Rose into a film but was never successful. With this novel, Girard taps into the nightmarish fears that inspired both Barrie and Hitchcock, while also bringing the story to the present day with his own unique voice.

In the 1960’s, Alfred Hitchcock attempted to bring the story to the silver screen. He never succeeded, but a Scottish script was written and the play was a success in Britain in the 1920’s. (
