Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the first chapter, as Robinson's portrayal of Leigh's quiet desperation to connect with someone, anyone, felt so authentic. The pacing is masterful, with tension building steadily like a pressure cooker ready to explode. Keogh's exploration of class dynamics and the blurred lines between kindness and manipulation is thought-provoking, even if some plot points stretch believability. The production is minimalistic, allowing the story and performances to shine. My only critique? I wanted more from the ending, which felt a tad rushed after such a slow burn. But don't let that deter you; The Lodger is a compelling listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
