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.

And now the police are watching them...

What the critics say

HUGELY GRIPPING AND SPOOKY AS HELL (Mark Billlingham)
An intricate and powerful thriller (Tana French)
Taught, tense and terrifying, I loved it
This terrifying thriller sent shivers through me (Jane Corry, author of My Husband's Wife)
Lelic can plot like a demon
A brilliantly tense and shocking thriller. I literally couldn't put it down! (Nuala Ellwood, author of My Sister's Bones)
DELICIOUSLY DARK AND CLEVER WITH A SATISFYING TWIST. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (Mark Edwards)
Really creepy and clever. I loved it. (Julia Crouch)
Prepared to be scared. The House is a gripping psychological thriller. Simon Lelic knows how to turn the screw (Mari Hannah)
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
