I read these lines in the blurb and knew I had to read this book! Mexican Gothic was recommended to me by a fellow reader and after reading seven chapters, I totally understand why readers are raving about it.

A frantic letter from her cousin who fears her husband is poisoning her, leads the heroine to an isolated mansion where everything is fake and over-the-top. Is there any truth to her cousins suspicions and will she be able to help her?

The aura of mystery, impending doom, and treacherous people with dangerous actions has made this book a bestseller. The grand parties, the showoff crowd, the fashionably fake people with secrets worth killing for, the over-the-top world of this book has me transported to an entirely different time and it is a welcome change.

I am loving the fluid narration, the expertly placed events that put ideas in the readers’ minds, and the mystery has me glued to the book. Hoping to finish this book soon, I am so looking forward to sharing my review with you.

Blurb:

An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . .

From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes a novel set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada 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.

Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family’s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemí digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.

And Noemí, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.
