Suspicion • Alexandra Monir
Mysterious. Magnificent. Creepy. Welcome to Rockford Manor.
“There’s something hidden in the Maze.” Seventeen-year-old Imogen has never forgotten the last words her father said to her seven years ago, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family’s English country manor.
Haunted by her parents’ deaths, Imogen moves to New York City with her new guardians. But when a letter arrives with the news of her cousin’s untimely death, revealing that Imogen is now the only heir left to run the estate, she returns to England and warily accepts her role as duchess.
All is not as it seems at Rockford, and Imogen quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind the mansion’s aristocratic exterior, hinting that the spate of deaths in her family were no accident. And at the center of the mystery is Imogen herself–and Sebastian, the childhood friend she has secretly loved for years. Just what has Imogen walked into?
Combining a fresh twist on the classic REBECCA with a spine-tingling mystery and powerful romance, SUSPICION is an action-packed thrill ride.
I MEAN. Doesn’t SUSPICION just sound so creepy and wonderful? *waits for you all to nod your heads* First of all, I’ve never read REBECCA, the novel upon which SUSPICION is loosely based. But I know that it’s a creepy book about a house and other things! What really draws me to this book, though, is this creepy maze. WUT. A creepy maze with a hidden SOMETHING in it. Anytime I hear about mazes it reminds me of GOBLET OF FIRE, and I imagine that this maze is just as full of unknowns and danger. WOOT!
Also, of course, there’s a friendship slash romance, and I love those too. A friendship slash romance, a creepy house, secrets, a potentially haunted maze…I CANNOT. NEEDS. I’ve never read anything by Alexandra Monir, despite intentions to, so I’m going to make sure SUSPICION is my first!
SUSPICION by Alexandra Monir comes out December 9, 2014 from Delacorte Press
