di William Le Queux (Autore)

Booker, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The House of Evil by William Le Queux is a gripping tale of espionage, suspense, and hidden dangers lurking within the façade of a stately mansion. Rooted in the rich tradition of early 20th-century mystery fiction, this novel transports listeners into a world where secrets are whispered through locked doors, and truth is obscured by a fog of deception and fear. Le Queux masterfully blends atmospheric tension with cerebral intrigue, offering a narrative that unravels layer by layer, drawing the reader deeper into its sinister core. Set against a backdrop of shadowy corridors, coded messages, and shadowy figures watching from the dark, The House of Evil introduces a protagonist entangled in a deadly web of political conspiracy and personal peril. As he navigates the creaking hallways and concealed passages of the ominous estate, each clue uncovers a new twist—rival agents, betrayed loyalties, and the chilling sense that the house itself is complicit in the unfolding mystery. The narrative maintains a steady pace, driven by sharp dialogue, suspenseful revelations, and a growing sense of unease. Le Queux, a pioneer of spy fiction, weaves elements of Gothic horror with modern paranoia, producing a story that speaks to the fears of his era—foreign threats, secret societies, and the fragility of national security. Yet, The House of Evil is more than a tale of cloak-and-dagger—it is a study of isolation, moral ambiguity, and the cost of knowing too much. An evocative journey into danger and deception, this audiobook is essential listening for fans of classic thrillers and intelligent suspense.
