Summary: “The Lodger” by Marie Belloc Lowndes is a suspenseful novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Robert and Ellen Bunting, a struggling couple living in a modest London home, who find their lives forever altered when they take in a peculiar lodger named Mr. Sleuth. The Buntings are on the brink of poverty, and Mr. Sleuth seems like a potential solution, yet his enigmatic demeanor, along with his deep interests in dark subjects, sets a foreboding tone. The opening of the novel introduces the Buntings in their dreary living conditions, highlighting their economic struggles and emotional state. Mr. Bunting is painted as a somewhat dull man attempting to cling to dignity despite their impending financial disaster, while Mrs. Bunting wrestles with despair over their situation. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a series of brutal murders dubbed the work of "The Avenger" shake the city, coinciding with Mr. Sleuth's arrival and his odd behavior. The couple's initial relief at securing a lodger contrasts sharply with the growing suspense surrounding Mr. Sleuth and the violent events occurring outside their home, creating an atmosphere of intrigue and tension as they navigate their precarious circumstances.
