Marie Belloc Lowndes : The Lodger before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Lodger:

16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. deliciously creepyBy hereswhatithinkA deliciously creepy thriller reminiscent of an old Vincent Price movie. Its the kind of book you read with black and white pictures forming in your mind. Very atmospheric and spooky.IN A NUTSHELL :A destitute couple who own a small lodging house (empty of guests) are gradually pawning their belongings to fill their bellies, when out of nowhere there's a knock on the door. A "gentleman" looking for secluded lodging...Soon, the hackles of suspicion are raised in the mind of the missus. But what to do? If their lodger really is the deranged killer (think Jack the Ripper) then they lose their tenant. Their income. Their food. Better to keep quiet. Keep quiet and wait...This was really good. (And free on kindle). Its very high in atmosphere but no gore whatsoever. I love how the London fog drifts into the houses, fills hallways and creeps up the stairs...eeeeek!Why 4 stars?The middle was a tad repetitive (what if he's the "Avenger"? What should I doooo..??), the motive for the killings was never really explained, and the author was overly fond of the word "deprecating " throughout.But its a good story. Very good.CONTENT:SEX: NonePROFANITY: NoneVIOLENCE: Virtually nonePARANORMAL ELEMENTS: NoneMY RATING : G6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Very atmospheric... possible minor spoilersBy fra7299ldquo;Itrsquo;s not safe to leave a front door open in Londonhellip;rdquo;In The Lodger, Lowndes creates a very atmospheric, psychological thriller and suspense. She manages to accomplish by not telling all, and letting the reader make their own conclusions about several key plot elements. Lowndes uses a slowly evolving, subtle mystery with clues along the way. With a Jack the Ripper-like killer on the loose, confusing and befuddling the authorities and leaving cryptic messages near the victims, an uneasy feeling resides in London. In The Lodger, the atmosphere is established from the get gomdash;with a murderer on the loose, is it safe to go out at night? Can the authorities outwit him?There are many elements that add to the dimension of suspense: foggy and bleak London, a mysterious lodger who resides with the Buntings, a tense inquest, a visit to the Museum of Horrors. At the center of the novel are the Buntings, a couple who, down on their luck, decide to let a room to a rather eccentric and odd lodger, Mr. Sleuth. We see the story from mostly the Buntings point of view, and as more fall victim in London, there is a sense that this killer named The Avenger is too smart for all. Mr. Bunting has a sort of morbid fascination with the case, and one of the men who is part of the investigation, Mr. Chandler, stops by to give Mr. Bunting updates on their findings. Buntingrsquo;s daughter, Daisy, comes to visit and also has an interest in the case as well. ** spoiler alert** On the other side is Mrs. Bunting, who internalizes her shocking thoughts about who the killer may be.Great, intense psychological thriller. One that really works and build to a solid finish.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. "Someone, somewhere must know of his comings and goings."By JAScribblesThe Lodger is a spooky, creative story. A quick read that will keep you guessing and keep you in suspense.The Buntings are literally starving. They've sold nearly everything they own and sit near a tiny fire in their living room. A knock at the door changes their fortune. A lodger. Someone to rent a room. Money for food.But who is he? And what is he doing so late at night?It makes you wonder, "What would I do?"I recommend this story.I found the ending a little rushed. I wanted a bit more reflection of the events and wrap up with the bunting family.

Somewhere in London a madman was at large. And then one night there came a knock at the door of a quiet lodging house in the Marylebone Road. . . . This novel, based on the Jack the Ripper murders, was made into a film by Alfred Hitchcock. "One of the best suspense novels ever written." mdash; The New York Times "This is a beautifully wrought novel of psychological suspense that should have a place on any mystery buff's shelf of classics." mdash; Chicago Sun-Times "The Ripper murders still arouse excitement, and The Lodger has lost none of its hushed, chilling terror over the years." mdash; The Drood Review of Mystery Inspired by the notorious Whitechapel murders, this 1913 thriller first appeared when Jack the Ripper's brutal crimes were well within living memory. Time has done nothing to diminish the popular fascination with the serial killings. This gripping tale of an elderly English couple's growing suspicions of their sinister boarder has served as the basis for several movies, including one of Alfred Hitchcock's first films.

Marie Belloc Lowndes's story explores the psychology of survival in the face of agonizing moral conflict. Lorna Raver's performance is a tour de force. Her dexterity shifting between accents is breathtaking. She creates the precise intensity, uncertainty, or sheer terror called for by each shocking situation. Raver's performance, combined with Lowndes's literate, suspenseful plot, makes this must listening. --AudioFileMore than a story of a serial murderer in foggy London of the early twentieth century, this is also a look at the social and familial mores of the time and of the strange relationship that forms between a mysterious lodger and his landlady....Raver's voice has superb diction and range. She speaks for all characters, except for the lodger, in a strong cockney accent, and she sets the mood from start to finish. --KliattFrom the Back Cover
