PREPARE TO BE HOOKED BY THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM LISA JEWELL.


He’s the perfect man.

He says he loves you.

You think he might even be made for you.

Before long he’s moved into your house – and into your heart.

And then he leaves for days at a time. You don’t know where he’s gone or who he’s with.

And you realise - if you looked back - you’d say to yourself:

DON’T LET HIM IN.


Don’t miss the new read-in-one-sitting Lisa Jewell novel; a cautionary story that could happen to you…

'Gripping. Shocking. Masterful.' FREIDA McFADDEN

‘Lisa Jewell is a stone-cold genius and Don’t Let Him In deserves to win mainstream literary prizes. Her best book yet. A PHENOMENAL achievement!’ MARIAN KEYES

‘A twisty mosaic of a thriller’ GILLIAN McALLISTER

'Utterly absorbing, fiendishly clever and all-consuming' ANDREA MARA

Critics Review

A masterclass of a twisty thriller, you'll want to read this in one sitting
Stylist
Reading a Lisa Jewell is like putting yourself inside a pressure cooker - one that you donu2019t really want to get out of. Nobody creates characters like she does - and in Nick she has created one of her darkest, twistiest yet
Jojo Moyes
Jewell is on a hot streak, with one brilliant thriller after another . . . As tantalizingly labyrinthine as her stories are, itu2019s the way she anchors them in a recognizably real world, and populates them with abundantly human characters, that makes them so successful. In a genre full of top-flight authors, she ranks very near the absolute top.
Booklist Starred Review
A clever, multi-layered narrative full of unforgettable characters. You'll be on the edge of your seat from the start and the story only gets more compelling as it goes on. Don't bother making any plans until you've finished it!
Jane Casey
I devoured it in one breathless sitting. Utterly captivating, ingeniously plotted, unsettling, a tense jaw-dropping, rollercoaster ride that will keep you on your toes until the very last brilliant line. So bloody brilliant! A master of her craft.
Michelle McDonagh
Donu2019t Let Him In is the best book of Lisa Jewellu2019s career - the pages practically shiver - but it's bigger than that: itu2019s a book for anyone who has looked at the person sleeping beside them and wondered, Who are you really?
A.J. Finn
What a tour de force of plotting and tension-building, the slow pulling together of all those separate threads into one absolutely clankingly satisfying denouement.. I LOVE a book in which female victims, apparently abused and downtrodden, rise up as one. Lisa has such a brilliant ability to be simultaneously dark and comforting (the warmth of the characters and the cosiness of the florist and the restaurants and the family bickering). She is a genius I think.
Sabine Durrant
With superbly crafted characters whose pain and progress consumed me utterly, this book is an all-consuming masterclass in storytelling.
Gill Perdue
Tense, chilling, and terrifyingly believable, [Lisa Jewell weaves another compelling tale bringing characters to the page who are so real, that they feel like people you know. Which makes Don't Let Him In even more scary - and utterly gripping.], don't start this before you go to bed as you won't be able to put it down!
Sam Blake
I read Lisa Jewelu2019s newest last night in one straight sitting, completely glued!!! I loved it so much!!! The only sad thing is now I have no more new Jewell look forward to.
