Books like The Dungeon House by Martin Edwards
The magnificent Dungeon House, perched on Cumbria's remote western coast, overlooks a striking mix of beaches, dunes, fells, Roman ruins, and a nuclear plant. Twenty years ago, the affluent Whiteleys made it home, but their story was far from tranquil. Malcolm Whiteley found himself sinking under crushing financial and emotional pressures, and his growing suspicion of men in his social circle as his wife’s potential lovers added to the turmoil. The house, once a symbol of wealth, turns into a backdrop for unraveling relationships and the search for truth in a rugged, historic setting.
