THE QUIET TENANT
Literary thriller, remindful of ROOM and THE LOVELY BONES, about an obsessive serial killer who holds a woman captive while living a normal life in upstate New York.
Debut thriller written with literary panache about a woman named May who is captured by a serial killer in upstate New York and confined to living in a shed on his property. But the outside world doesn't know the truth about her captor, Aidan Thomas, a handsome and at times charming widower who works for the electric company while raising his school-aged daughter. When May discovers that Aidan is beginning a relationship with a local woman in town, she determines that she not only must escape but also reach the new girl before it's too late.
A captivating read that reminded me by turns of ROOM and THE LOVELY BONES, it's a novel that is certainly infused with Clémence's love of and immersion in Netflix true crime documentaries and deep-dive podcasts like "Serial" and "My Favorite Murder."
Born and raised in Paris, Clémence is a French-American journalist who writes for the UK's Independent newspaper. She currently lives in New York city with her husband, and this is her first novel written in English. (Last year, she published a novel in French, from a small French publisher).
