Alright kids, BUCKLE UP. This week everyone was rightfully talking about Drake's home being featured in Architectural Digest. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inside-rapper-drakes-hometown-manor-in-toronto
That's right. Hidden in the headline of the viral article is the name of Paige Rense's 1997 novel MANOR HOUSE.
Who is Paige Rense you ask? Oh ho ho so glad you asked. In 1971, the thrice-married high school dropout was promoted to editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest after her predecessor was murdered in cold blood. A position she held for the next 35 years.
In 1997 she fulfilled a lifelong dream by publishing a mystery novel based on... you guessed it... her predecessor's murder. She told Charlie Rose: "I've started the second one."
... But a sequel to Manor House was never released. Is Drake's home tour Paige Rense's lost second novel?! I don't want to open myself up to legal liability so I'll just leave this here: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/11/04/a-gilded-age-at-architectural-digest/
