Description
The Lodger is a classic suspense novel written by Marie Belloc Lowndes. The story is set in London during the early 20th century and revolves around the Bunting family who take in a lodger to help them make ends meet. However, as time goes by, the family begins to suspect that their lodger may be responsible for a series of grisly murders that have been occurring in the city.The novel is a chilling exploration of the human psyche and the lengths that people will go to protect their own interests. The Bunting family is forced to confront their own moral ambiguity as they struggle with the decision to turn in their lodger to the authorities or protect him at all costs.The Lodger is a masterful work of suspense and psychological drama that has stood the test of time. It has been adapted into several films and has influenced countless works of literature in the genre. Lowndes' writing is both atmospheric and gripping, drawing the reader into the dark and twisted world of the Bunting family and their mysterious lodger.To take but one point: Mr. Sleuth did not ask to be called unduly early. Bunting and his Ellen had fallen into the way of lying rather late in the morning, and it was a great comfort not to have to turn out to make the lodger a cup of tea at seven, or even half-past seven. Mr. Sleuth seldom required anything before eleven.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
