Freida McFadden did an incredible job with this thriller. I started reading the book last night and couldn’t put it down! The story takes on the point of view of the MMC, Blake. He loses his job, can’t afford the rent on his upscale NYC Brownstone apartment, and therefore his fiancée, Krista, and him decide to take on a tenant. After Whitney moves in, things get a little crazy.
If you love thrillers, twists, and turns… I highly recommend reading this book. It was a very easy, fast paced, and engaging read!
Rating: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, what a ride! There was some time in part 1 that was annoyingly repetitive but it has a purpose, so hang in there! It is worth it.
I enjoyed reading The Tenant, it was an easy read- classic McFadden. I didn’t mind that this was one of McFadden’s first books written from a male perspective; it added a different tone without feeling too far from her usual style.
That said, I did manage to pick the plot twist early on and had a strong suspicion all along that Krista was actually Whitney. The coincidence surrounding Whitney’s identity felt a bit far-fetched, but it didn’t take too much away from the overall story.
What did surprise me, though, was the ending—specifically that the actual murderer ended up dead. In most of McFadden’s books I’ve read so far, the killer usually gets away with it, so this twist was unexpected and refreshing.
Overall the suspense was enough to keep me engaged.
