The Quiet Tenant

 

“The Quiet Tenant” by Clemence Michallon
Published by Knopf Publishing Group
Finished 6/17/23 – 4/5 stars
 
This book comes out in just a few days and my guess is that the rights to a movie or mini-series will be purchased by the end of the year.  It’s a short, page-turning, suspense novel that you won’t want to put down.  There are multiple points of view including the serial killer, his daughter, girlfriend, and the girl he’s held on to for the past 5 years (the quiet tenant).  The chapters are all labeled but it’s also pretty easy to determine on your own whose chapter it is.  You won’t get confused but you might find yourself internally yelling at a character periodically – like “no”, “don’t do that”, “hurry up”, “pay attention”, or “what were you thinking?”  Now, some might say it’s not very realistic but knowing the world today, I completely believe it could happen.
 
Thank you to NetGalley and Knopf Publishing for gifting me with an advanced copy to read and provide an honest review.
