About The Book
From #1 New York Times bestseller Lisa Jewell, an author “at the very top of her game” (Lucy Foley)—three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller.
“Who are you? Who are you really?”
Nick Radcliffe 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. He’s just what Nina Swann needed in her life after her husband’s unexpected death. 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…
“Because there are things that don’t make sense, and I’ve been so patient, so very patient…”
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.
“You know that’s mad, don’t you? I’m your husband. We know everything there is to know about each other.”
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.

Raves and Reviews
“Jewell is on a hot streak, with one brilliant thriller after another....As tantalizingly labyrinthine as her stories are, it’s the way she anchors them in a recognizably real world, and populates them with abundantly human characters, that makes them so successful. In a genre full of top-flight authors, she ranks very near the absolute top.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“Jewell effortlessly toggles back and forth in time…setting up a wicket and satisfying cat and mouse game .... Readers who like their psychological suspense on the dark side will be delighted with the results."
—Publishers Weekly
“Don't Let Him In masterfully blurs the lines between truth and deception. The tension builds from page one, gripping you until the shocking conclusion!”
—Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Don’t Let Him In is creepy, twisty, and compulsively readable. It hooked me from the first page and never let me go.”
—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Funny Story
“This is a dark house of a thriller, full of trapdoors and hidden rooms and steps that lead you where you least expect and rugs that get whipped out from beneath you. Nobody – nobody – does this better than Jewell. Don’t Let Him In is the best book of Lisa Jewell’s career – the pages practically shiver.”
—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“Don’t Let Him In is a masterclass in suspense. A dream romance spirals into a nightmare as Lisa Jewell expertly draws together the strands of deceit with increasing menace, presenting us with one of the most chilling, unsettling villains I’ve encountered in a long time.”
—Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient
“Reading a Lisa Jewell is like putting yourself inside a pressure cooker—one that you don’t really want to get out of. Nobody creates characters like she does—and in Nick she has created one of her darkest, twistiest yet.”
—JoJo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else’s Shoes
“A thrilling, chilling, work of genius. Don’t Let Him In is Lisa Jewell at her mesmeric best.”
—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
“Cancel all plans, this is a read-in-one-sitting book. A gripping psychological thriller that is compulsive and clever and completely brilliant. I couldn’t put it down.”
—Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ugly
"A twisting, mosaic of a novel, packed full of neon-vivid characters you root for, and a hero so evocative he could be my neighbor (if that wasn't my worst nightmare). I loved it!"
—Gillian McAllister, New York Times bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time
"Utterly brilliant. Impossibly, she gets better and better."
—Mark Edwards, author of The Psychopath Next Door
“I read Lisa Jewell’s newest last night in one straight sitting, completely glued!!! I loved it so much!!! The only sad thing is now I have no more new Jewells to look forward to.”
