Mexican Gothic by S. Moreno-Garcia

In 1950s Mexico, a glamorous debutante investigates her cousin's desperate plea from an isolated mansion, uncovering dark family secrets and supernatural horrors that threaten to trap her forever. After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region or the family’s secrets. “A terrifying twist on classic gothic horror” (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico. “A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush ’50s atmosphere.”—Entertainment Weekly. “A ghastly treat to read.” -Fresh Air, NPR.
