From the number one best-selling author of The Family Upstairs and The Night She Disappeared comes an engrossing, twisty tale of betrayal when an outsider is accused of murder.

You don't see her, but she sees you.

MIDNIGHT. In the bad part of town, where cats prowl and foxes shriek, a girl is watching...

When Saffyre Maddox was ten, something terrible happened, and she's carried the pain of it ever since. The man who she thought was going to heal her didn't, and now she hides and watches him, learning his secrets, invisible in the shadows.

Owen Pick is invisible too. He's never had a girlfriend; he's never even had a friend.
Nobody sees him. Nobody cares.

But when Saffyre goes missing from opposite his house on Valentine's Day, suddenly the whole world is looking at Owen.

Accusing him. Holding him responsible for Saffyre's disappearance...

INVISIBLE GIRL: an engrossing, twisty story of how we look in the wrong places for bad people while the real predators walk among us in plain sight.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

Lisa Jewell’s masterful, London-set psychological thriller Invisible Girl is taken to new heights in this utterly engrossing audiobook. For that you can thank its rotating cast of narrators, who take on the three main characters that this compulsive, almost always unsettling novel centres around. There’s Saffyre, a young woman who experienced terrible trauma aged 10 that she’s never quite dealt with. When she goes missing on Valentine’s Day against a backdrop of disturbing assaults on young women in the local area, suspicion immediately falls on Owen Pick, a “creepy” loner who’s all too easy to paint as a predator. Then there’s Cate, who has recently moved in opposite Owen with her husband Roan—the therapist who once worked with Saffyre but who discharged her before she was able to reveal what happened. This is a fast-paced listen where lives become interspersed and dark secrets and hidden pasts abound. But more than that, it’s about our willingness to make assumptions about the people who live around us, but who we barely know. Expect shocking twist after shocking twist—and to be hooked in from the moment you press play.
