This House to Let
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"This House to Let" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the aftermath of World War I, specifically in 1919, and introduces us to characters such as Constable Brown, who patrols a quiet neighborhood in Kensington. The narrative revolves around the mysteries that unravel in a seemingly abandoned house for rent, where a gruesome discovery leads to questions of identity, human connection, and possible crime. At the start of the tale, Constable Brown, while minding his beat, is drawn to a house that has been empty for over three months and bears a “To Let” sign. Through his observations, he uncovers a broken window pane, which prompts him to cleverly deduce that someone has entered the house. As he investigates further, he stumbles upon a shocking scene: the lifeless body of a man with a razor in his hand. The opening sets a tone of suspense mixed with an exploration of characters’ motivations, particularly that of the caretaker, Miles, as well as hints of deeper connections to the deceased. The unexpected revelation that the dead man is linked to a series of past crimes adds layers to the intrigue, leaving readers eager to discover how the interconnected lives and secrets will unravel.
