The Tenant by Freida McFadden

Publication Date: May 6, 2025

#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a dark thriller about a rental gone wrong. Because sometimes you don't need to look far to find danger. Sometimes, danger lives right at home.

Blake Porter is riding high, until he's not. Fired abruptly from his job as a VP of marketing and unable to make his mortgage payments on his new brownstone, he's desperate to make ends meet for his fiancee, Krista. 

Enter: Whitney. Beautiful, charming, down-to-earth, and looking for a room to rent, she's exactly what Blake's looking for. Or is she?

Because something isn't quite right. The neighbors start treating Blake differently. The smell of decay permeates the kitchen, no matter how hard he scrubs. And Whitney claims she knows what he's done....

Soon it's obvious that danger lives right at home. And by the time Blake realizes it, it'll be far too late. He'll be dead before he realizes the trap is set.
