Thriller

"The Lodger" by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Robert and Ellen Bunting, a struggling couple living in a modest home in London, whose lives are forever changed when they take in a peculiar lodger named Mr. Sleuth. The Buntings are on the brink of poverty, and while Mr. Sleuth seems like a potential solution to their financial woes, his enigmatic demeanor and deep interest in dark subjects create an unsettling atmosphere.

The novel introduces the Buntings in their dreary living conditions, emphasizing their economic struggles and emotional turmoil. Mr. Bunting is portrayed as a somewhat dull man trying to maintain his dignity despite their impending financial disaster, while Mrs. Bunting grapples with despair over their situation. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a series of brutal murders, attributed to a figure known as "The Avenger," begin to plague the city, coinciding with Mr. Sleuth's arrival and his odd behavior.

The couple's initial relief at securing a lodger sharply contrasts with the growing suspense surrounding Mr. Sleuth and the violent events occurring outside their home. This creates an atmosphere of intrigue and tension as they navigate their precarious circumstances.
