Don't Let Him In - Lisa Jewell
Pub. Date: June 24, 2025
She read
A marriage is over; the husband done with his wife. A florist with two sons is living with her husband and their daughter; no matter how hard she works, they never seem to have enough money and why does the husband keep disappearing? The wife of a murdered restauranteur receives a gift and note from an acquaintance of her late husband. Suddenly he is in her life, pursuing a relationship. What do these women and men have in common? Are they on a collision course?
Told in shifting timelines and sometimes alternating POVs, this is another psychological thriller from popular author Lisa Jewell. Like peeling the layers of a rotten onion, the true character and exploits of the main male character are slowly revealed. This is like watching an accident you know is going to happen….you just can’t look away from the story. As fantastical as elements of the plot may seem, manipulative, misogynist, narcissistic monsters like this do exist….just watch a few Dateline or other true crime episodes. One can only hope that women learn something from this tale…put away your naivety and develop some protective radar.
Thanks to #NetGalley and @Atriabooks for the DRC.
