She&rsquo;s not sure what she will find&mdash;her cousin&rsquo;s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noem&iacute; knows little about the region.&#160;&#160;&#160;<br>&#160;<br>Noem&iacute; is also an unlikely rescuer: She&rsquo;s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she&rsquo;s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin&rsquo;s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noem&iacute;; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi&rsquo;s dreams with visions of blood and doom.<br>&#160;<br>Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family&rsquo;s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noem&iacute;, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family&rsquo;s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family&rsquo;s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noem&iacute; digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.&#160;<br>&#160;<br>And Noem&iacute;, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.<br><b>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s as if a supernatural power compels us to turn the pages of the gripping <i>Mexican Gothic</i>.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Washington Post<br></i>&ldquo;Mexican Gothic&#160;is the perfect summer horror read, and marks Moreno-Garcia with her hypnotic and engaging prose as one of the genre&rsquo;s most exciting talents.&rdquo;<i><b>&mdash;<i>Nerdist</i></b><br></i>&ldquo;A period thriller as rich in suspense as it is in lush &rsquo;50s atmosphere.&rdquo;<i><b>&mdash;<i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b></i></b>
