'DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE'

Marlow has always lived in unusual places. But when she accepts a vacancy as a property guardian, she finds herself moving back to a place she swore she'd never return to.

Right from the start, she knows it's a terrible mistake. Something sinister is happening on the site - the previous tenant, Hayley, has disappeared without warning, and Marlow suspects the other guardians know far more than they're letting on. She's determined to find out what happened to Hayley, but which of these strangers can she trust?

And what secrets from Marlow's own past are about to make things even worse?

Critic reviews

The Other Tenant will take up residence in your mind from the very first page. A cleverly plotted thriller. I raced through it!
Some books keep you completely glued to the pages and this is one of them. I've loved all of Lesley's books but this is her best one yet. Addictive, dark and clever – it's a must-read and I was transfixed!
Terrifyingly tense! Intriguing characters and an unforgettable and chilling setting. This is one thriller you won’t forget!
A really original premise, thoroughly gripping, and more twists and turns than a rollercoaster!
Totally gripping from start to finish. I simply HAD to find out the truth
Lesley Kara is the queen of foreboding! She maintains a lingering sense of impending disaster from the first page until the last.
I loved this tense thriller - the set-up is so intriguing and the characters leap off the page, with plenty of twists and turns that kept me reading late into the night
A highly original setting and a creepy, atmospheric story - I was gripped!
The Other Tenant has such an original premise and I was hooked from the very first line. Dark, atmospheric and so compulsive, I raced through this cleverly plotted thriller. The ending gave me chills. I loved it
A compulsive, suspenseful and riveting thriller with a great cast of characters that was impossible to put down

Great book like all the books of Lesley Kara. And I always love the endings.

Great book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The ending of this felt rushed and I had a lot of questions at the end. Too many unanswered questions; Hayley and Dev being the made ones. Overall it felt really unfinished.

Disappointing ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
(spoiler alert)

really liked the whole story but I thought the ending was a bit disappointing, I'd have preferred to have a proper resolution about Hayley, but up to the end it was excellent

enjoyed it
