Apparently, Hemingway was enamored with the crime novels of the day, and especially the emerging "pulp fiction" of Hammett and then Chandler. Both genres seemed to be somewhat intertwined in style and brevity. Both fed off each other. I read this to get some background on the English style, as it might relate to the American crime novel (and possibly Hemingway's style).I find The Lodger to be very dated (written in early 1900s) and rather pompous and shallow of plot and excitement. However, the character development and depiction of the streets and neighborhoods of East London, along with the lower class working folk (and Cockney) was excellent. Not a page burner, as it were, but certainly and education base-line for the crime novel of its day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Another Classic Whodunnit! *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on October 10, 2021* Published in 1911, Marie Belloc Lowndes’ The Lodger, is filled with suspense and mystery.Mrs. and Mr. Bunting are three seconds from the poor-house, when they get a new lodger.He pays in sovereigns and he isn’t stingy.
