"Take The Princess Diaries and add magic, murder and mystery, and you've got SUSPICION. A delightful read!"—Amy Plum, author of the of the international bestselling Die For Me series
"If Alfred Hitchcock had directed Downton Abbey, the result would have been this book. Alexandra Monir takes us on a gripping, nonstop thrill ride with just the right amount of supernatural and an ending that you definitely won't suspect. I devoured it in one sitting."—Jessica Brody, bestselling author of the Unremembered trilogy
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.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Imogen Rockford is a special girl. She spends her summers in England at the Estate of her grandfather, the Duke of Wickersham. The year she was ten, she could barely contain her excitement to arrive. She is happy to be back and visit her cousin Lucia and friend Sebastian.
When her world completely falls apart after a devastating tragedy, she returns to New York never looking back. Her trips to England stopped and she no longer spoke to Lucia and Sebastian. Her heart completely broken drives her actions.
Seven years later the past catches up with her and Imogen must return to Rockford Manor. She is now the Duchess and is thrust in the life of the titled of England. She also finds her feelings for Sebastian have not changed, plus a mystery surrounding her. She knows something isn’t right as she grows accustomed to her new life. The secrets are shocking.
This book had a great storyline. It was a mystery with a paranormal twist. Imogen is a fun character who has lived through great tragedy but steps into the title and does what she believes is right. She embraces her responsibility and eventually accepts how special she really is. It is an awesome book for young adults and I definitely recommend it to anyone. I give it a 4 out of 5.
