Mexican Gothic
(Book)

Includes book club guide (pages 305-321).

"The acclaimed author of 'Gods of Jade and Shadow' returns with a darkly enchanting reimagining of Gothic fantasy, in which a spirited young woman discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico."--

"After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. Noemí is an unlikely rescuer : She's a glamorous debutante, more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough, smart, and not afraid : not of her cousin's new English husband, a stranger who is both menacing and alluring ; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems fascinated by Noemí ; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemí's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Noemí's only ally in this inhospitable place is the family's youngest son. But he too may be hiding a dark secret. As Noemí begins to unearth stories of violence and madness, she is slowly drawn into a terrifying yet seductive world - a world that may be impossible to escape."--taken from back cover.
