"The Uninvited," by Dorothy Macardle
The book, originally published in the United Kingdom as "Uneasy Freehold," was made into a movie in 1944 starring Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey. As soon as I began reading the review of the book I recognized the plot and remembered the movie. I would guess the old adage, "The book is always better than the movie" is likely true in the case of "The Uninvited."
