Mexican Gothic

Mexican Gothic combines Mexican history with the supernatural to create an increasingly unnerving tale???and the more I read, the harder it was to put down.

The story is about Noem??, a socialite and university student, visiting her fairly recently married cousin after her father received a rambling, out of character letter from her claiming that her husband was poisoning her. From the very start, there's an aura of wrongness emanating from the old mansion her cousin now lives in, as well as most of the family who lives there. As Noem?? spends more time there, she unearths more questions and more secrets and it goes from quietly disconcerting to more and more disturbing.

It's not a subtle book yet the backstory is creative and haunting, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mexican Gothic with its determined heroine, secrets, and creepiness???so much that it's one of my favorite books of 2020!
