The Tenant

A dark, tense, and twist-laden thriller from the instant #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of The Boyfriend and The Housemaid


There’s no place like home…

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make the mortgage payments on the new townhouse he shares with his fiancée, he's desperate to make ends meet.

Enter Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent. She's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she?

Because something isn't quite right. The neighbours start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates his home, no matter how hard he scrubs. Strange noises jar him awake in the middle of the night. And soon, Blake fears someone knows his darkest secrets...

Danger lives right at home, and by the time Blake realises it, it'll be far too late. The trap is already set.

Bestselling author Freida McFadden knocks at your door with a gripping, mind-bending psychological thriller: a story of revenge, privilege, and secrets turned sour…

Review

A highly entertaining three-hander ― The Times

A dark, twisty read ― The I Paper

The Tenant had me in a chokehold; so fresh, dark and funny, with a brilliant MC who I loved and hated in equal measure, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough ― Lisa Jewell

A real page turner with a brilliant twist that I did not see coming. Gripping from start to finish, The Tenant is so addictive it should come with a warning ― Alice Feeney

“A relentless mix of secrets, lies, and jaw-dropping shocks. The queen of twists has done it again! ― Riley Sager
