介紹 My Cousin Rachel (1951),說大家認為它比1938年的《蝴蝶夢》更好,靈感來自修屋時某鉛管上的刻名。另外介紹短篇小說集:《再吻我,陌生人》 The Apple Tree (1952) (short story collection, AKA Kiss Me Again, Stranger)。

杜穆里埃的小說多以故鄉康沃爾郡的海岸為地點,情節曲折,扣人心弦,代表作品有《蝴蝶夢》和《牙買加客棧》[1]。她的多部作品都被改編為電影,當中包括《蝴蝶夢》、《牙買加客棧》兩部小說和《》、《威尼斯癡魂》兩個短篇故事。前三部電影都由亞佛烈德·希區考克執導,而最後一部電影則由尼古拉斯·羅伊格執導。

大部分人認為她的最佳作品是多次改編為戲劇和電影的小說《蝴蝶夢》(Rebecca)或譯作《麗貝卡》。1938年她憑藉這部小說贏得了美國國家圖書獎[3]   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_%28novel%29

《蝴蝶夢》的改編電影獲得了巨大成功,獲得了1941年的奧斯卡最佳影片獎。
