About Geoffrey Household
Geoffrey Household (1900-1988) Geoffrey Household was a prolific novelist of political thrillers and suspense stories, most notably the classic Rogue Male, which, The Times recently declared, 'remains as exciting and probing as ever'. He was as widely travelled as the settings of his books suggest: after graduating from Magdalen College, Oxford, with a first in English literature he worked abroad for 25 years, and served in British Intelligence during World War II in Greece and the Middle East. He married twice and eventually settled in the English countryside with his wife and three children.
Reviews for Watcher in the Shadows
The reissue of his backlist, of which Watcher in the Shadows is the latest to appear, is a welcome acknowledgement of Household as a master of his craft
Barry Turner
DAILY MAIL
Tension, suspense, thrills, humor, sympathetic characters, and a hero (and a villain) with a sense of honorr, plus the odd bit of natural philosophy. What more could you possibly ask for in 192 pages of finely written prose ... Watcher in the Shadows is quite as good as Rogue Male and demands not to be forgotten
