The Lodger by English author Marie Belloc Lowndes is a classic psychological thriller based on the real-life Jack the Ripper murders. ”As she walked down the stairs, the winter sun, a scarlet ball bringing in the smoky sky, glinted in on Mr. Sleuth’s landlady, and threw blood-red gleams, or so it seemed to her, on to the piece of gold she was holding in her hand.” The fog-filled streets of Victorian London are gripped by fear as a series of gruesome murders occur in the city. When a strange and secretive lodger rents a room in the home of the Buntings, their quiet, ordinary lives spiral into dread. With each footstep above and every creak in the night, what if the monster is living under their roof? This gripping classic thriller is an unmissable read for lovers of gothic fiction, psychological suspense and historical mystery fiction.
