The House on Rye Lane

’Beautifully written and entirely gripping’ CHRIS WHITAKER

’An evocative, haunting literary thriller’ ERIN KELLY

’A terrific spine chiller’ TELEGRAPH

’A sinister tale, beautifully told’ THE SUN

Maxine has bought a huge Georgian townhouse on the edge of Peckham Rye - but already the doubts are creeping in.

Why are the neighbours so evasive about the previous owner’s death?

Is her partner Seb all he seems to be?

And are there more secrets hiding in this house’s dark corners?

The House on Rye Lane is a tense, taut, utterly unnerving novel about the many ways the crimes of the past can haunt the present.

SUSAN ALLOTT finished her first novel, THE SILENCE, after completing the Faber Academy course. It was widely acclaimed and longlisted for the New Blood Dagger. THE HOUSE ON RYE LANE is her second novel. She lives in south London with her two children and her husband.
