Synopsis

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.

And now the police are watching them...

Goodreads review by Miriam on December 09, 2017

It's impossible to start this book and not become addicted to it instantly. The way the book is written - Jack and his girlfriend Syd, write their side of the story as a journal in alternating chapters - just intrigues you so much you have to keep reading. What is it about the house that's so troubl......more

Quotes

HUGELY GRIPPING AND SPOOKY AS HELL

An intricate and powerful thriller

Taught, tense and terrifying, I loved it Sharon Bolton

This terrifying thriller sent shivers through me

Lelic can plot like a demon Guardian

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 Daily Mail
