Beskrivelse af The Lodger
The Lodger is a psychological thriller novel written by Marie Belloc Lowndes. The story is set in London during the early 20th century and revolves around a couple who rent out a spare room in their house to a mysterious lodger. The couple soon discovers that their lodger is a strange and reclusive man who exhibits odd behavior and has a disturbing interest in the Jack the Ripper murders that have been occurring in the city.As the story progresses, the couple becomes increasingly suspicious of their lodger's true identity and motives. They begin to investigate him and uncover a series of clues that suggest he may be the notorious serial killer himself. The tension builds as the couple struggles to confront their lodger and uncover the truth about his past and present actions.The Lodger is a classic example of early 20th-century crime fiction and is known for its suspenseful atmosphere, complex characters, and intricate plot. It has been adapted into several films and stage productions, including Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film of the same name. Overall, The Lodger is a gripping and chilling read 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.
