Aidan Thomas is a family man beloved by his small town, but he has a dark secret that no one knows…he’s a serial killer and one of his surviving victims is locked up in his shed. Will Rachel find the strength to escape after five years of captivity or will her fate resemble those of all of Aidan’s past victims?

THE QUIET TENANT by Clemence Michallon was a fast-paced thriller following the POVs of “Rachel” the kidnapped, Cecelia the 13-year-old daughter, and Emily the love interest.

I’m shocked that this is a debut!! The story was intriguing and nerve-wracking, and it was easy to really get a feel for the characters (and even fall in love with some)! 

I would have liked some more explanation and backstory behind certain things (thus the 4 stars), but an enjoyable thriller regardless!

Huge thanks to NetGalley, Knopf, and Vintage and Anchor for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
