The Riddle House
The village of little hangleton still called it "The riddle house "even though it had been many year since the riddle family had lived there. It stood on a hill overlooking the village some of its window boarded tiles missing from its some and ivy spreading unchecked over its face .Once a fine looking manor and easily the largest and grandest building for miles around the sidelo house was damp derelict and unoccupied.
The little hangletons all agreed that the old house was creepy .half a century ago something strange and horrible had happened there something that the older inhabitants of the village guill liked to discuss when umpirs for gossip were scare .the story had been picked over so many time and had been embroidered in so many place that nobody was guite sure wat the truth was any more .even version of the take however started in the same
Place : 50 year before , at daybreak on a fine summer´s morning, when the riddle house had still been well kept nd impressive nd a maid had entered the drawing room 2 find all there riddles dead.
the maid had run screaming down the hill into the village , nd roused as many people as she could.
´lying there wit there eyes wide open ! Cold as ice! Still in there dinner thing!
The police were summoned, nd the whole of little hangleton had seethed wit shocked curiosity nd illdisguised excitement .Nobody wasted there breath pretending to feel very sad about the riddle, for they had been most unpopular. Elderly mr nd mrs riddle had been rich, snobbish nd rude ,nd their grown up son ,TOM, had been even more so. All the villager cared about was the identity of their murderer -plainly, three apparently healthy people did not all drop dead of natural cause on the same night
The hanged man the village sub did a roaring trade that night the whole village had turned out to discuss the murders . They were rewarded for leaving their firesides when the Riddles cook assid dramatickly in their midst and announced to the suddenly silent pub that a man called frank bryce had just been arrested .
