Crooked House

With World War II at an end, Charles Hayward is finally free to marry the woman he loves, Sophia Leonides. However, she refuses - the unexplained death of her grandfather, wealthy businessman Aristide Leonides, draws her back to the suffocating environment of her family home. Charles follows, but his arrival coincides with the discovery that Aristide's death was murder. The ensuing investigation drags Charles into the dark heart of the family, and its deadly secrets and dangers. Even if Charles escapes with his life, will he survive the corrosive effect of the family itself? This thrilling BBC radio drama stars Rory Kinnear as Charles and Anna Maxwell Martin as Sophia.

Reviews

This book is one of my own special favourites... practically everyone has liked Crooked House, so I am justified in my belief that it is one of my best.

—— Agatha Christie

Compared to the slavering slop served up in today's celeb rags, this is industrial-strength juice.

—— Empire

Full of gossipy anecdotes ... great fun

—— Viola Fort , Observer

A definitive, generational work

—— Vanity Fair

First-rate reporting...dense and intimate

—— People

Anthony Summers never writes a book that fails to offer accurate material you will find nowhere else...No surprise then that Sinatra: The Life is one of the very few, bona fide, three-dimensional portraits of an amazingly complex, interesting and sometimes god-awful guy

—— Norman Mailer

Beautifully penned...a heart warming and inspirational read

—— The List
