I absolutely loved this slow burn thriller and thought the cast was expertly weaved. So many different red herrings to throw me off and thought the ending was wickedly twisty! I have So much respect for this author. She never disappoints. I loved This more than the family upstairs.

Everything I read by Lisa Jewell is fantastic. I am a bookseller at The Book Keeper in Sarnia, Ontario and my recommendations shelf if filled with books like this. I can't wait to add Invisible Girl to my shelf when it is released! Invisible Girl has everything we've come to expect from Lisa Jewell. Quaint but trendy London suburb, family secrets, creepy neighbour, suspects old, middle-aged and young, lies, suspense, it;s got it all! Invisible Girl reminds me a lot of Watching You, I could picture the neighbourhood perfectly. Our main characters, Saffyre, Owen, Cait, Roan, along with a main character we didn't realize was a main character until near the end are described perfectly with their angst, deception, ptsd, mistrust, and anger. Bringing in the very recent concept of
Incels makes this books very current, and adds a new side to the thriller genre that's disturbing. Loved this book, loved the suspense, the twists, the heroic moments and the empathy pulled from the reader.

Lisa Jewell has done it again, i devoured the invisible girl and holy moly was it a well written dark, intenstensly creepy, phenomenal thought provoking suspenseful read. I don't know how she keeps doing it but every book becomes my new favorite. This one is told from multiple points of view in 3 different parts, before, after and now. This book takes a look into perceptions people tend to have and how well you actually know someone. Everyone also holds secrets, but at what costs should these secrets be revealed and should we let them rule our life. That there is always more to people than meets the eye.

Saffyre Maddox was ten years old when something terrible happened, she keeps the pain and events of that bottled up inside. After cutting herself as an outlet for the pain her uncle sends her to therapy, but after 3 years her therapist thinks she's ready to move on. What the therapist doesn't know is she hasn't revealed the actual trauma that occurred.

Owen Pick is a geography teacher, he is a rather odd fellow that hasn't ever had a girlfriend or for that matter many friends. He lives with his Aunt, and has just been suspended from his job because of allegations of misconduct towards students. He also has a traumatic past and keeps that to himself.

Roan Fours, Saffyre's therapist, who also happens to live across the road from owen, is a married father of two. He also holds some secrets.

Women are being sexually assaulted and no one has been caught. Then on Valentine's day Saffyre goes missing, and all signs point to Owen, but it seems to only be because he seems like an easy target.
