The cover of The Lodger caught my eye first. Interested to hear whether the story matches the mood.

Aisling, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

The Lodger is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Ciaran, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering The Lodger: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
