I think this is my thriller of the summer? The one I'm going to push into everyone's hands? Could it be the thriller of the year for me?

The Quiet Tenant ramped up the locked room feeling with a closed cast of POVs from various women involved in the story (victims, daughter, and lover). Each chapter added a little more terror to the story, just like a good thriller should. 

This was a pure, dark, thriller. No mystery and plenty of trauma and will to survive. I had to drop everything to finish 

Thank you Knopf and Netgalley for an ARC, I'm so happy that I finished it on pub day so I can share it constantly this summer.
