A MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER READ from People, USA TODAY, theSkimm, E! News, Forbes, New York Post, CrimeReads, and many more!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell, three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller.

He’s the perfect man. It’s a perfect lie.

Nina Swann is intrigued when she received a condolence card from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, who is looking to connect after her husband’s unexpected death. Nick is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. But to Nina’s adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too slick, too polished, too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling…

Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband, Alistair. But lately, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences, he always has a legitimate explanation, but Martha can’t share the feeling that something isn’t right.

Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don’t let him in. But the past won’t stay buried forever.©2025 Lisa Jewell (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

It’s a good book

If you compare this to some of her other books this might not be the most suspenseful . But this is an excellent portrayal of a narcissist and how his mind work. If you’ve been lucky enough to not experience a narcissist in your life it could feel far fetched and the women dumb for falling for lies and deception but when you are involved with one it’s like you are caught in a spiral you can’t get out of. I appreciated this book for showcasing this to a certain extent.

Performance

The story was fascinating, but I didn’t like what went on after the end ending. It wasn’t necessary.

Don't Let Him In!!

This audiobook is a well-crafted, expertly performed crime and horror thriller. But in my opinion it is too long and has more characters than it needs, and I found it dispiriting rather than exciting. The performers are all excellent, especially Richard Armitage, who is wonderfully creepy. Recommended for horror fans.

Another Lisa Jewell’s jewel

I love how flawed Lisa Jewell’s characters are. This is the story of a con man who will go to great lengths for money. One of those capable, intelligent, charismatic guys who could influence people to help other people, if only he used his brain for good causes. Though I wish the author had given us more insight into his upbringing so we could have understood how his personality became warped, this omission did not make the story less riveting. This is a 5-star plot driven narrative.

3.5 - solid but sometimes confusing

Lisa Jewell was actually the first mystery/thriller author I ever read, and honestly, I think she deserves more hype. This book had some great moments where the pace really picked up, but there were also parts that dragged a bit and left me feeling confused.

I get that the whole point was how shady and manipulative the main guy was—using different aliases and messing with multiple women—but at times, it felt like a lot to keep up with. Still, it was an interesting read overall, and I thought the ending wrapped things up in a satisfying way.

Gripping Story!

Absolutely loved this book! Great characters and very intriguing story line. I hope they make it into a movie someday

Fantastic

Absolutely love the main character and the development of the story. I couldn’t put it down!!!!

Don’t let him in

Wow! Lisa Jewell has out done herself. Another book where you think you know what’s happening. But then you don’t. Love it!

Another stunning one from Lisa Jewel!

Lisa Jewel did it again! She really does have a wild imagination full of twist, turns, vivid characters, and the small details that bring the story to life! Brilliant!

One of her best

I have read most of her books and like many of them. But this was the best!
