Leigh Simon can’t say for sure what made her do it. A moment of madness, perhaps, but when the young, loud and gorgeous waitress at her favorite coffee shop reveals she is homeless, Leigh offers her the empty room in her house.

In your head…

Gina is the perfect lodger; Leigh, lonely and frustrated with her life, becomes infatuated with the woman – her boldness, her zeal. If only Leigh could be more like Gina…

And missing without trace.

So when Leigh returns from a work trip she’s shocked to find Gina missing. Where could the young woman have gone…and why?

Leigh fears that something terrible has happened - why else would Gina leave her?

But as she sets out to find her missing lodger, what Leigh discovers changes everything she knows about Gina….and her own life, too.

Reviews for The Lodger

[Donna Benoit · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Interesting story that I thought would get more interesting but it didn’t. It sort of falls flat. It is certainly worth listening to but not great.

This was a pretty good story with generally good narration, with one niggle. It's not a big one but was highly irritating. Sometimes the word she had th "sh" left off. So it sounds like 'e decided to, etc. No major twists and turns that blow your socks off, but definitely worth a listen.

[Nita Thornton · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent read. Author writes very well and Narrator was easy to listen to. Great twist in plot at the end. Loved it

[Rachael Benson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Not a page turner as described.. I speed listened to it in the hope it would improve but sadly it didn’t…unrelatable characters and ridiculous storylines

[Tracy Wisneski · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

That ending felt like the author was on a deadline, couldn't come up with a conclusion and instead just gave up and had someone show up to tell the story. It was insulting.
