After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find—her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region.

Unputdownable
Revisado: 07-04-20
Imagine a cross between Rebecca, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Fifty Shades of Grey and The Girl with All the Gifts written by Stephen King by way of Angela Carter on mescaline ... and you begin to approach the sheer brilliance of this novel. It is utterly spellbinding and completely unputdownable. The author, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, just keeps ratcheting up the suspense, landing blow after blow on the unsuspecting reader as she takes the plot off in wildly unexpected directions, pulling the rug away from under us.
I was gobsmacked. Gobsmacked and utterly riveted. An 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕 thriller! ☺

In 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of the nuclear war. The crisis was averted, but what would have happened if war had broken out? In Resurrection Day, award-winning author Brendan DuBois brings this horrific concept to life.

Great contrafactual story - awful British accent
Revisado: 10-12-17
"Resurection Day" is a great, contrafactual 'what if' story, no doubt about it. Its description of the consequences of a "limited" nuclear war is chilling and bleak, especially with what is going on in North Korea these days. The reader, Rich McVicar, is competent except for one thing: His attempt at an English accent. It is atrocious, horrible and just plain wrong. Thus, he makes one of the characters, (Sandy, an upper-class Englishwoman from London), pronounce "Manhattan" as "ManHARtan" and her own name as "SARN-dy, which nobody does or has ever done. His accent comes across as a weird mixture of Jamaican and Hollywood "posh" by way of Keanu Reeves in "Dracula." It is truly, frighteningly, horribly bad, and it seriously detracts from your enjoyment of the novel. Which is really a pitty, seeing how great the story is. :(
