___________
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lisa Jewell has done it again. The queen of character-driven psychological suspense returns with another unputdownable read featuring an intriguing premise, emotional depth and, most importantly, twists galore. This time, the focus is on three women: Nina and her daughter Ash, who are bereaved after Nina’s husband is pushed under a train; and Martha, a florist whose husband Al frequently disappears. What connects Nina and Ash with Martha? And how much will vulnerable people overlook in their desire for love and connection? As the women’s storylines intertwine and the puzzle pieces gradually begin to fall into place, the tension ratchets up—and when they arrive, the revelations are both heart-stopping and all too plausible. That’s Jewell’s great skill as a storyteller: She’ll make you gasp but keep you believing it could be real.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A dangerous con man meets his match in this nasty thriller from bestseller Jewell (Breaking the Dark). For the past 30 years, Nick Radcliffe has assumed an array of identities to seduce, marry, and occasionally murder women of independent means across London. Now in his mid-50s, Nick has sunk his hooks into the recently widowed Nina Swann, who's inherited a successful restaurant chain. The only problem? Nina's daughter, Ash, doesn't trust Nick as far as she can throw him. Nick tries to dial up the charm in hopes that, by swindling Nina, he can secure a fortune for the one woman he truly loves: his current wife, Martha. Ash, however, is prepared to bring Nick's long con toppling down—even if it means finding his old victims herself. Jewell effortlessly toggles back and forth in time, illuminating the awful scope of Nick's deceptions while setting up a wicked and satisfying cat and mouse game between him and Ash. Readers who like their psychological suspense on the dark side will be delighted with the results.
Customer Reviews
Survivor
Having ‘ let him in’ twice in my life and escaped with scars from both encounters, there is neither justice, nor closure in reality that would satisfy a reader.
Your denouement of the havoc these people can bring mentally, physically and spiritually was wide of the mark. The damage is greater and longer than you showed and not just motivated by finance.
It is a cycle of personal abuse that changes the victim, for better or for worse. Hopefully your book will be a warning.
