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 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.
