The Quiet Tenant is dark, disturbing, and fabulous! Recently widowed, Aiden Thomas is beloved by everyone in the small town he lives in with his 13-year-old daughter. He is also a serial killer and a kidnapper. Rachel has been kept captive in his backyard shed for 5 years. She knows he has killed his other victims but also knows she is doing something right to still be alive. The story does not focus on Aiden but rather is told from the point of view of the 3 women currently in his life (and snippets from each of his victims). They are Rachel, his current captive, Cecelia, his daughter, and Emily a local restaurant owner and his current love interest or perhaps the next victim. You are kept on the edge of your seat trying to understand what might happen. Has Stockholm syndrome affected Rachel, so she won’t try and escape or is she just being smart and cautious. Will Cecelia finally rebel against her father’s rules and strictness and see him as he really is? Will Emily end up as just another victim? Reminiscent of Emma Donahue’s Room it is a look at true depravity and how easy it is to hide it. It is also a look at the strength of a woman who wants a chance to have the life she should be living.
