The story is set in London during the early 20th century, and it revolves around a young couple who take in a lodger to help pay their bills. However, strange things begin to happen in their home, and they soon suspect that their lodger may be a notorious serial killer who has been terrorizing the city. As they investigate further, the tension and suspense build, leading to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. Lowndes' writing style is gripping and atmospheric, and her characters are well-developed and believable. ""The Lodger"" is a timeless masterpiece of suspense and mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.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.
