Marie Adelaide Belloc Lowndes (1868–1947) was an influential British novelist and journalist, best known for her psychological thriller 'The Lodger' (1913). The daughter of a French barrister, and sister to the famed writer Hilaire Belloc, Lowndes' literary heritage was significant. She began her career with contributions to various periodicals and achieved recognition as a sharp and shrewd delineator of social mores and the nuances of human psychology. Her celebrated work, 'The Lodger', which explores the sinister implications of Jack the Ripper's crimes through the experiences of a London family, established her prowess in the thriller genre and has been adapted multiple times for film and radio. Lowndes' narratives typically unfold within domestic settings, where she meticulously crafts suspense and intrigue around ordinary lives touched by extraordinary events. Her sophisticated storytelling, characterized by its subtle build-up of tension and in-depth character analysis, reflects broader societal issues of her time, making her works both entertaining and insightful in their commentary on early 20th-century England. Across a prolific writing career, Lowndes authored over 40 novels and numerous short stories, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of crime and mystery literature.
