THE SECRET HOUSE OF DEATH

by Ruth Rendell

Pub Date: July 25th, 1969
ISBN: 088411144X
Publisher: Doubleday

The domestic dereliction of Louise North with sales representative Bernard Heller ends bang-bang in their death and their neighbor, Susan Townsend (who had been deserted by her husband for another woman) is left to comfort husband Bob North, helpless and humiliated. British, this ends with a reverse English which should guarantee some surprise along with the sympathetic presentation of people you know, or might have known.
