""The Lodger was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's first thriller ... But the story Hitchcock tells--of young love and mistaken identity (and is that a mistake, or malicious accusation by a rival ...?)--is very different from Lowndes' tale, a story of an elderly couple with a strange and unsettling tenant--a man with peculiar habits who may be the Ripper himself ..."--Back cover. Written by author Hilaire Belloc's sister."@en

"Robert Bunting and Ellen his wife sat before their dully burning, carefully-banked-up fire. The room, especially when it be known that it was part of a house standing in a grimy, if not exactly sordid, London thoroughfare, was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for. A casual stranger, more particularly one of a Superior class to their own, on suddenly opening the door of that sitting-room; would have thought that Mr. and Mrs. Bunting presented a very pleasant cozy picture of comfortable married life."@en
"Based on the nineteenth century & rsquo;s most infamous crime, a novel that asks, How do you recognize a serial killer? One damp November evening on the Marylebone Road, a couple sits in silence. Though their thoughts are the same & mdash;money and the lack thereof & mdash;the time has long since passed when Mr. and Mrs. Bunting could find comfort in sharing their anxieties with each other. Now every word is a reproach & mdash;a reminder of luxuries forsaken and keepsakes pawned. Retired servants, the Buntings sunk every last shilling into their London lodging house. Now they are trapped. The rooms are empty, the rent is due, and ruin awaits. When the paper boys & rsquo; cry of & ldquo;Horrible Murder! Murder at St. Pancras! & rdquo; rings out in the street, Mr. Bunting risks his wife & rsquo;s ire to buy the Evening Standard . The latest exploits of the killer known as the Avenger will give him something to think about besides his own misery. Just when he is settling in with the paper, there is a knock at the door. Mr. Sleuth enters, seeking & ldquo;quiet rooms & rdquo; to rent. He bears no luggage, save one nearly empty leather bag, and his demeanor is odd, to say least. The beautiful sitting room on the second floor interests him not at all, but the obsolete gas stove on the underfurnished third floor is exactly what he has been looking for. Best of all, he wants to pay a month & rsquo;s rent in advance. Mr. and Mrs. Bunting believe that the new lodger is a godsend until a dark fear grips their hearts. Could the strange Mr. Sleuth be the Avenger in disguise? And if he is, can they afford to know? Inspired by the Jack the Ripper murders and the basis for Alfred Hitchock & rsquo;s first thriller, The Lodger is a masterpiece of psychological suspense. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices."@en

"De gedragingen van hun huurder doet bij een Engelse familie het vermoeden rijzen dat hij wel eens de beruchte moordenaar zou kunnen zijn."
"One of the best suspense novels ever written. 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. Chicago Sun-Times The Ripper murders still arouse excitement, and The Lodger has lost none of its hushed, chilling terror over the years. 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.
