About Mexican Gothic:What do you get when you combine the best elements of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca with Mexican folklore? You get Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s taut, atmospheric new novel, Mexican Gothic (Del Rey), her first since Nebula Award finalist Gods of Jade and Shadow. A glamorous debutante, Noemí Taboada is more suited to commanding the room at cocktail parties and fending off lovesick suitors than she is to undertaking amateur rescue missions. But after receiving a frantic, disturbing letter from her newlywed cousin, Catalina, Noemí decides that’s exactly what she will do. As Noemí untangles truth from lie, she discovers that no one—and nothing—is what it seems. And some people will kill to keep their secrets as quiet as the dead.
