Thanks to Knopf for the copy of this book!

I really enjoyed this thriller, told from multiple POVs of the tenant (in second person), the daughter, a woman in town, and the murder victims. Clémence Michallon’s writing was wonderful and I really appreciated her unique style in this story.

The Quiet Tenant stands out because it’s so creepy and realistic. Our serial killer is an upstanding citizen, beloved by his small town who is completely unaware that he’s holding a girl hostage or has a murder streak. The dynamic of scenes with him and his tenant versus him interacting with people in town are genius. This is really well done and a great read for thriller lovers!
