About this listen
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.
The heart-stopping thriller about a husband and wife who are hiding something from each other, and from you.... This audiobook won't let you go until you've found out the truth. Perfect for fans of Erin Kelly, Gillian Flynn and Fiona Barton.
Whose story do you believe?
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 outside their back door. And now the police are watching them.
This story is their chance....
To prove they're innocent.
Or to get away with murder.

Slightly too long and a little overhyped
I actually don't know what to make it this. It drags on for far too long and could have been shortened by a good few chapters. I understand it's to create more suspense for the final reveal which wasn't that much of a mystery in the end. I expected it to have more of a horror feel, which it doesn't at all but that's the initial premise. The level of abuse is gratuitous at points and truly cringe worthy. I just don't think it was worth any hype, although it's an interesting tale nevertheless.

I really, really enjoyed this book
I was hooked from the first sentence. The ending was jot what I thought it'd be and I enjoyed the narrative. Totally recommended.

Keep me listening
I have never read any work by Simon Lelic before so this was just one I plucked out from a list. I have to say that although at first it kept reminding me of another authors story, it went on to completely turn that thought on its head.
Great twists and turns and the ending was very well done. Id recommend this book

Tired...
Well paced and narrated, twisty and kept my interesr, but, just once, can we have a psychological thriller that doesn't involve women and/or girls being brutalised? I want to read a good thriller but I'm so tired of male violence against women being used for entertainment.

Boring
I don't like to give bad reviews, as I am always respectful of the fact that someone has actually managed to sit down, write and publish a book, but this was truly dull, slow and predictable writing, and stretched the powers of ones imagination to believe in the whole premise. Bought it on the strength of the reviews. Mistake.
