Treger writes with a steady hand. Her prose is marvellous, and she slowly trickles information into the readers’ hungry mouth, a style I very much enjoy. I love leaping into a story, feeling as if I’ve arrived late to a party, and slowly uncovering the mystery, peeling away the layer of the characters, their circumstances, their emotions. This is very much the set-up in ''The Lodger'', and so this is one of the reasons this book is precisely my cup of tea. A triumphant debut.
Further reading might include [[Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley]]. For another story about a lodger, you might enjoy [[A Place of Safety by Tamsin Reeves]] and you might appreciate [[Emma by Linda Mitchelmore]].
