The House of Four
2 journalers for this copy...
Everyone in the Istanbul neighbourhood of Moda knows the Devil's House - a crumbling Ottoman mansion associated with ill fortune.
Four siblings, now in old age, live there, in separate apartments, and are rumoured never to speak to each other. Then one of them is found dead, stabbed through the heart, and it is discovered that the other three have met an identical fate. There is no sign of forced entry or burglary, and all evidence must be gained from letters and diaries, but as Inspector Ikmen digs into their past, it becomes clear they have been harbouring a secret.
Meanwhile, a young couple are arrested for a series of seemingly random killings on the streets of Istanbul. They claim to have been squatting in the Devil's House. But this fiendish mystery is far from over and it will take Inspector Ikmen to the darkest and most devlish depths of this ancient city.

Still enjoying this series. This novel really creeped me out though. That house and most of the characters involved were really scary though I did have a bit of a problem keeping track of who was who at times because of the name changes.

Thank you. I always like a Barbara Nadel. I'm going to have to battle with my need to be able to say the characters' names in my head again though!
