The Lodger

by Marie Belloc Lowndes

About this book

A struggling London couple take in a quiet, well-paying lodger while a series of killings troubles the city. Mrs. Bunting begins to notice details of his behavior that make the household’s new source of security increasingly disturbing.

The story keeps its focus close to the family’s rooms, worries, and conversations. Financial need and growing suspicion pull in different directions as the Buntings consider what they may have allowed into their home.
