What to expect
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The House by Simon Lelic, read by Adam Newington and Gemma Whelan.
THE PERFECT COUPLE. THE PERFECT HOUSE. THE PERFECT CRIME.
Londoners Jack and Syd moved into the house a year ago. It seemed like their dream home: tons of space, the perfect location, and a friendly owner who wanted a young couple to have it.
So when they made a grisly discovery in the attic, Jack and Syd chose to ignore it. That was a mistake.
Because someone has just been murdered. Right outside their back door.
And now the police are watching them...
Critics Review
HUGELY GRIPPING AND SPOOKY AS HELL
An intricate and powerful thriller
Taught, tense and terrifying, I loved it
This terrifying thriller sent shivers through me
Lelic can plot like a demon
A brilliantly tense and shocking thriller. I literally couldn’t put it down!
DELICIOUSLY DARK AND CLEVER WITH A SATISFYING TWIST. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Really creepy and clever. I loved it.
Prepared to be scared. The House is a gripping psychological thriller. Simon Lelic knows how to turn the screw
Clearly influenced by the great Alfred Hitchcock, this is not so much a ghost story as an homage to the master’s expert touch with dread
