They thought they’d found their dream home. They were wrong.
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.
