The Lodger by Helen Scarlett

4.0

Locations in the novel The Lodger

This was a very interesting case and storyline which I had never heard of before. Political scandal, a lodger who goes missing and then a body is found. Someone is keeping a whole lot of secrets. Luckily for the reader, the author drip feeds these one by one through the novel creating a lovely pace and a gripping case. Throughougly enjoyed this one!

London is very well evoked and it's just after the war so there is a lot of detail in this area - dark alleys, smoke, poverty etc. We go from posh houses to the kind of establishments that charge by the hour. Quite the city tour!
