Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC of this book. This was a suspenseful page-turner! I enjoy Lisa Jewell’s writing because she pays close attention to her characters. If you enjoyed her recent books, you will enjoy this thriller told from multiple perspectives.

Jewell is always a sure fire hit . This one was good as always. She has a way with pacing her books without a lot of fluff that just keeps you engaged throughout
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review book

I lovedddd this one. I think Lisa Jewell will always be my #1 author because she really never lets me down!

I say this on every review of her books but she truly is just so good at writing interesting characters that truly feel real to me and that always makes the thriller/suspense more intense.

This book actually made me so mad the whole entire time but I feel like I can’t say anything much because it would spoil it! This is a must read and I will be buying a physical copy when it comes out.

I always love Lisa Jewell. She is an incredible mystery-thriller writer. I will ready anything she writes!

3.5🌟 this was my first book by Lisa Jewell and I’m not sure she’s for me. I enjoyed her writing, but the multiple pov’s and timelines pulled me out of the story at times. I will say at about the 45% mark things picked up and I was interested in seeing what happened, but the book really dragged in terms of plot.

Maybe this just isn’t the thriller author for me because I think some people would really love this one! so don’t let my review sway anyone from picking it up🤞🏼I could see this being really fun to read on vacation or a flight or something

thank you netgalley and the publishers for the arc

Don’t Let Him In, A Novel, by Lisa Jewell. Different POVs, different time-lines, multiple twists.

I rated this 4 stars.

Patty Swann was the life of the party until he was pushed in front of a train, leaving his daughter Ash and wife Nina to figure out what next. Until an old friend of Patty’s, Nick, reaches out and is now getting close to Nina. Martha is a small-town florist living life with her daughter (and 2 sons from a previous marriage) and husband, Al. But lately she is questioning if she really knows what is going on with her husband at all. But who really are Nick and Al?

Your main POVs are from Ash, Al, and Martha. The story is present day and bounces back to 4 years and 2 years prior.

I really enjoyed this book, was hard to put it down. Once one mystery was solved there was another to figure out, even up until the last page. Would definitely recommend to others! Was one of the longer mystery thrillers I’ve read but still worth all the pages.

Thank you, NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This marks my third experience with a Lisa Jewell novel, and once again, she delivers a compelling narrative filled with lies and deceit. The plot does shift between different timelines and perspectives, which requires careful attention while reading; this is the sole reason I am rating it four stars.

I prefer not to reveal any spoilers, but this book will certainly challenge your perceptions of truth, prompting you to exclaim "what?" at various points. As a fan of thrillers, I find that any book by Lisa Jewell is sure to engage readers, as she is a masterful storyteller who keeps you on your toes.

Lisa Jewell does it again! This book started out a bit slow for me, but ultimately I could not put it down. The main antagonist was one that I despised. He is easily a man that can live amongst us in the real world, one that blends into everyday life, and one that you can easily fall for not realizing he is a narcissist and abuser.

Thank you to NetGalley & Atria Books (Simon & Schuster) for the ARC of Don't Let Him In!

I am a huge fan of Lisa Jewell and was thrilled to receive an advanced copy of the book! The book was told in alternating voices. Ash is suspicious of a mysterious man that enters her mother’s life just a year after her dad dies. Another character wonders where her husband is leaving for long periods at a time. It was a bit slow to start, but once the connections began forming, it was hard to put down! The ending was very satisfying.

**A Riveting and Twisty Thriller**

Lisa Jewell’s *Don’t Let Him In* is a masterclass in suspense and psychological intrigue. With three women bound by one enigmatic man, the story weaves an intricate web of secrets, lies, and unraveling truths.

Jewell’s signature storytelling keeps readers hooked as the layers of deception slowly peel away, leading to a shocking and unforgettable conclusion. The characters are compelling, and the tension builds with every chapter, making this a gripping page-turner from start to finish.

Fans of twisty thrillers won’t want to miss this dark and captivating read!

Overall - 5/5. Thanks to NetGalley for this AMAZING ARC. This is the best thriller I’ve read in a few months and the first 5 star of the year (and on my birthday). I’m in utter shock with what I read - but like the good type of shock that’s amazement. I seriously didn’t want this book to end - it reminded me of some of the crazy Netflix series I’ve read about people living double lives.

Lisa Jewell has outdone herself again - I don’t know how this woman creates these plots in her brain but they are so detailed and full of webbed subplots. She rides the perfect line in most of her books of being insane thrillers - without getting overly complicated. Go preorder and add this book to your TBR - it should be out in July 2025

Wow, this book had me in a chokehold from start to finish. There were twists and turns that had me questioning everything many times. The internal dialogue of the MMC was so well-written and oh so disturbing. He was a true narcissist and sociopath. As unrealistic as parts felt, the writing was so gripping, visceral, and shocking that I couldn't help but want to read more. This was my first book by Lisa Jewell, and I want to read more. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I cannot express just how much I hated this one. Lisa is usually at the top of my list. Most have been hits, some misses, but never one I loathed like this one. Sorry Lisa. I was just not a fan.

What did I just read!!! Amazing!
This was my first book from Lisa Jewell and it did not disappoint!

This book will leave you on the edge of your seat, it’s very deranged, and it was fantastic (in a weird way I guess haha).

A well known restauranteur, Paddy, was pushed in front of a train and the Swann family is mourning. One day Nina (the widow) received a gift from a friend of Paddy’s and soon after, Nina started to date him.

But who is this Nick!? Why does his timing seem on point with the passing of Paddy’s? Is this legit love or is something deeper going on?

Ash (Nina’s daughter) keeps thinking something feels wrong about him and starts to dig around.

The chapters are short in general and are divided in different time line (past and present). His side of the story is in his point of view which gets us to experience how he thinks, his next moves etc. It gets frustrating!! His mind is so dark but yet he has the audacity of thinking he’s the best person ever. Definitely sociopath behaviour.

I don’t want to reveal more but it’s so so good. It’s also hard to read as I said above the characters are good to make you feel emotions. Good or bad.

What will happen to Nina and Ash? Is Nick actually a good guy!?

I 100% recommend this book!!!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lisa Jewells, Don't Let Him In is a fantastic read that I could not put down! The timeline can be a bit hard to follow at first, but it gets easier as you read and each character gets introduced.

Don't Let Him In may be Lisa Jewell's best book yet!! This was a roller coaster rider from start to finish. Told in three different POV's, this is the story of a man who manipulates the women in his life. Martha, a loving wife to her husband is one of the voices and she is a strong, independent woman who is blindsided by her husband and his betrayal. Ash is dealing with the loss of her father and the new man in her mother's life that just seems to rub her the wrong way. Nick is a character I won't soon forget. This was a hard to put down book and I really enjoyed turning the pages and finding myself shocked again and again. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Lisa Jewell’s Don’t Let Him In is a compelling psychological thriller that intertwines the lives of three women connected by one enigmatic man. The shifting perspectives create a kaleidoscopic narrative, building suspense as secrets unravel and the tension escalates toward a chilling conclusion.

Jewell’s character development is sharp, each of the women's stories keep the reader engaged, though some twists feel predictable for seasoned thriller readers. Despite this, the atmospheric writing and dark revelations make it a gripping read.

Perfect for fans of domestic thrillers, Don’t Let Him In delivers intrigue, emotional depth, and a haunting reminder that appearances can be deceiving.

So so good!! I could not put this book down and the twists kept me locked in! Loved every second of it.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC!

Another great book from Lisa Jewell! I loved all the twists and turns and unexpected moments. It was a little hard to keep track of timelines, but I loved the characters and flashbacks.

This novel is about a man and his relationship with three different women. Nina Swann has just lost her husband Paddy in a tragic accident and she and her daughter Ash are still reeling from this loss. When a package arrives in the mail from an old friend of her husband named Nick, Nina is touched and begins a correspondence and then a relationship with him. But Ash is not as enchanted and has a bad feeling about this new man in her mother’s life. Meanwhile, Martha owns a flower shop in town and is struggling to balance her business, her new baby and her husband’ Al’s absences while he’s away on business trips. And why does it seem they have no money when they are both working so hard? Nick and Al seem to both have dark pasts and many secrets that they are hiding from the women in their lives. And are these two men somehow connected? Both Nina and Martha have there suspicions but it is Ash who steps in to investigate and is shocked at what she finds. This was a twisty thriller that I really enjoyed. Lisa Jewell never disappoints.
