Book Details
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell, three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller.
He’s the perfect man. It’s a perfect lie.
Nina Swann is intrigued when she received a condolence card from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, who is looking to connect after her husband’s unexpected death. Nick is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. But to Nina’s adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too slick, too polished, too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling…
Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband, Alistair. But lately, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences, he always has a legitimate explanation, but Martha can’t share the feeling that something isn’t right.
Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don’t let him in. But the past won’t stay buried forever.
Book Review: Don’t Let Him In
Genre: Fiction > Thrillers > Domestic
Hello Book Friends,
Today I’m reviewing Lisa Jewells latest thriller Don’t Let Him In. Unsettling, yet unputdownable, Jewell is a master at creating characters that are born from nightmares. From the opening chapters readers will quickly feel creeped out by the male MC. You’ll 100% know there is something VERY off about his character and that’s what compels you to keep reading. Because you just have to know what’s going to happen next.
I couldn’t put it down.
I had this urgent need to know how the book was going to end.
The title is spot on.
I was inwardly screaming don’t let him in whenever he was interacting with literally anyone. Although, I did feel the book could’ve been edited down a bit. There were moments I was like, okay I’m ready for this guy to get caught.
Regardless, if you’re a thrillers book addict, you should definitely grab a copy of Don’t Let Him In.
Happy Reading ~ Cece
