Cellar at No. 5 | 
Aging Mrs. Rampage lives alone and is persuaded by family to take in another widow as a housemate and companion. The relationship takes a nasty turn when Mrs. Roach has her own ideas about how things should be run and a battle of wills ensues.
I‘m very much enjoying this darkly humourous story which was published in 1954 (aside from this bland “print on demand” cover, that is 😬).
Tamra Cover does not evoke 1950‘s thriller suspense. But it sounds like an entertaining read! Stacked (edited) 7mo
LeahBergen @Tamra Especially as the house in the novel is Georgian and set in London. The cover has it as a Victorian country house. Gah! 😠 7mo
merelybookish Haha cover does not yell Leah book at all. 🙂 7mo
LeahBergen @merelybookish It most certainly does not. 😆 7mo
