The Secret House of Death - 1968

Susan Townsend was the only resident with no interest in the affair going on next door in Orchard Drive, or in the neighbourhood gossip about it. Yet it was Susan who found the bodies of the lovers locked in death. And it was Susan whose own life would be imperilled by a monstrous crime.


  The Secret House of Death

One Across, Two Down - 1971

For twenty years Stanley has pursued his passion solving crossword puzzles while waiting for his mother-in-law to die so he can get his hands on her money. Until now, it had never occurred to him that she would try to outsmart him and keep him from touching her fortune. So Stanley, clever at misleading double meanings and devious clues, decides to construct a puzzle of his own, and so give death a helping hand.
