Mexican Gothic by Silvia Morena-Garcia
eBook | eAudiobook | Large Print | Print
Noemí Taboada's cousin Catalina has written to her, begging Noemí's help, as she firmly believes that her English husband, Virgil Doyle, intends to murder her. Suspecting that Virgil may also be after Catalina's money, Noemí's father, Leocadio, sends her to the Doyle home, High Place, which is located in the mountains outside of a small town named El Triunfo. Once there, Catalina begs her cousin to seek out a healer living in the small village near the mansion named Marta Duval and pick up medicine that could save her. Noemí does so, but the medicine instead causes a seizure that keeps her from freely visiting Catalina as frequently.
As a result of the decreased visits Noemí spends her time learning about the Doyle family, which also includes Florence Doyle and the family patriarch, Howard. The family has a history of incestuous marriages and experiencing strange dreams and visions. Noemi also cultivates a friendship and relationship with one of the Doyles, Francis, who warns her that the family cannot be trusted.
