The Answerth family's mansion seems to deserve its nickname of "Venom House." Perhaps that's because of its forbidding setting, an island in the center of a man-made lake, the treacherous waters studded by the skeletons of long-dead trees. Perhaps it's because of the unquiet ghosts of the Aborigines slaughtered by Answerth ancestors. Or perhaps it's just because the Answerth household is such a strange one.

Venom House

Broome is a little sun-drenched town on the barren north-west coast of Australia, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's business, where all the little bungalows might be glass for all the secrets they hide. How then had the murderer of Broome's two most attractive widows got away without leaving a single clue? Detective-Inspector Bonaparte investigates, with his usual calm precision - but the murderer strikes again, and Bony realises he is dealing with a madman - that time is running out...
