I only read the short story "Don't Look Now". I know the movie but haven't watched it. I know Daphne du Maurier but haven't read her works. So I was surprised to learn that the movie was adapted from the same name short story of Daphne. Her writing is masterful as they said. Everything is shrouded in mystery. We only see the face value of people and events without understanding their meaning, until it's too late. The story is famous for its plot twist, which I found both abrupt and foreseen.
