Items related to The Secret House of Death
Louise North doesn't care what the neighbors think. She lets her lover leave his car just outside her house in broad daylight, telling everyone a cockamamie story about him being a central heating salesman. Still, it's a shock when she's found shot dead, covered by the equally dead body of the "salesman." Now Susan Townsend -- the Norths' next-door neighbor, who discovers the bodies -- must help Louise's husband, Bob, get back on his feet. But is she helping a neighbor . . . or a murderer?

About the Author:
Ruth Rendell is the recipient of several awards, including three Edgars and four Gold Daggers from the UK’s Crime Writers’ Association. Simisola, Blood Lines, Keys to the Street, and The Brimstone Wedding (written as Barbara Vine) are available from Brilliance Audio. She lives in England.
From AudioFile:
Ruth Rendell continues to deserve the high praise she receives for her psychologically complex crime stories. Listeners will avidly follow the story of a London surburban couple trapped in a relationship from which death seems the only escape. Actor Simon Russell Beale narrates this gripping story with a quiet intensity that suits the tale. His vocal approach is understated and pleasant to hear. Evil and treachery lurk in the manicured gardens of Matchdown Park. Beale's performance is outstanding because he controls the listener's experience, building up suspence steadily, and he also makes the listener care about the characters and want the young divorcŽe to be safe and cared for. Beale manipulates feelings, and tells a fascinating story. D.L.G. Winner of AUDIOFILE's Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
