Tenant

Blake Porter has finally achieved everything he ever wanted, but in an instant, it all becomes a thing of the past. He's unexpectedly fired from his position as vice president of marketing and can no longer afford the mortgage on the new house he shares with his fiancée. Desperate for a solution, Blake decides to take in a lodger. Enter Whitney. Sweet, beautiful, practical – at first glance, she's the perfect tenant, exactly what Blake had in mind. But is she too good to be true? Blake quickly realises that something isn't right. He starts to feel trapped in his own home, and every day brings more and more unpleasant surprises that push him to the brink of a breakdown. Blake is convinced there's a common denominator – their lodger. But is that really the case? Is he genuinely in danger in his own home? Or is it all just a coincidence, and he's losing his grip on reality? He must find proof and uncover the truth. The last question is, will it be too late?

The Lodger is thrilling from start to finish and so addictive it should come with a warning.” – Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author “McFadden plays with themes of secrets and lies, creating a suspenseful tale of revenge using a male narrator – a rarity in her work.

Full of surprises at every turn, The Lodger questions whether you can ever truly trust anyone.” – Shelf Awareness “I was completely captivated by The Lodger; it's so fresh, dark, and funny, with a brilliant main character I loved and hated in equal measure.

The queen of twists has done it again!” – Riley Sager, author of the bestseller Final Girls and The House Across the Lake
