Why read it?
1 author picked Crooked House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The house may be named Three Gables, but the title is correct – it is a crooked house, through and through.
As clever as Knives Out and its sequel may have been, this is the OG when it comes to a house full of the most interesting nutjobs. I’m proud to admit that I studied the hell out of Crooked House to write my book. The ending of this one is a doozy, and I tried my best to do the same. As the saying goes, if you want to steal, steal from the best.
From Sung's list on mysteries that take place in a grand manor house.
