Would you trust a total stranger?
They say no good deed goes unpunished, and Ellie is proof of that. When I first meet her, she’s just a young woman in desperate need of a home, so I lower the rent and let her move in to my spare house. She’s the perfect tenant… in the beginning.
The very first time she babysits for me, I realise I’ve made a mistake. My son reveals a new bruise on his arm, and that’s the first of many problems on my street. Within a single week, properties are damaged, someone is murdered, and all evidence points to Ellie. But there’s something else. Something far bigger than I can endure.
England’s most notorious, yet unidentified serial kidnapper is on a path towards our town. I’m keeping my son close to me, but my boyfriend thinks I’m being paranoid. I don’t care how much it affects our relationship, because I suspect Ellie is that kidnapper, and she will never take my son. Because I’ll do anything to protect him.
Anything.
THE PERFECT TENANT is the new psychological thriller from Bristol author AJ Carter, whose books are bursting with mystery, danger, and multiple dark twists.
