Reviews

Graham Greene taught us to understand the social and economic cripples in our midst. He taught us to look at each other with new eyes. I don't suppose his influence will ever disappear

—— Auberon Waugh , Independent

A masterly storyteller... An enormously popular writer who was also one of the most significant novelists of his time

—— Newsweek

Graham Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature

—— John Le Carre

I am always reminded of Ruth Rendell at her very best when I read Lisa Jewell. Not only is her plotting masterful, Lisa has the rare ability to make you care - passionately - about all her characters, whether they are important or minor, instantly appealing or apparently monstrous. Invisible Girl is quite brilliant in every way.

—— Jane Casey

Dark, gripping, emotionally intense. My heart hurt from being squeezed so tight.

—— Tamar Cohen

A breathtakingly brilliant novel by an author at the absolute top of her game.

—— Jenny Colgan

Compelling and surprisingly moving - Lisa Jewell never lets you down.

—— Clare Mackintosh

Invisible Girl. I loved it. Every damn word.

—— AJ Finn

An outstanding tale of intrigue, family secrets and exceptional storytelling. Lisa is the queen of intrinsic plotting with relatable characters, and suspense by the bucket load. I adored it.

—— Mel Sherratt

Another masterpiece from a novelist whose grip on human nature in its flawed entirety never slips. Invisible Girl is gripping, disturbing and acutely observant; Jewell is an extremely special writer.

—— Alex Marwood

I didn't mean to but I couldn't help it - I read this in one sitting last night. It's a masterclass in how to write with pace and tension, and the characters are brilliantly realised. I simply didn't want to put it down! Out in August and it's very good indeed.

—— Harriet Tyce

Lisa Jewell excels at writing psychological thrillersthat keep you guessing till the very end . . . a must read.

—— Independent

What I love about Invisible Girl is its taut, intuitive writing, its pacy plot and its complex, original characters. Lisa Jewell writes with such compassion but she isn't afraid of plunging an icy blade into her readers' hearts whilst examining the cruel realities of the world.

—— Adele Parks

Skin-crawlingly creepy, this reveals the dangerous preconceptions about those around us.

—— Crime Monthly Magazine

An engrossing and compelling read.

—— Mirror

One of my favourite authors

—— Julia Hartley-Brewer , TalkRADIO

Gripping [...] A brilliant exploration of how we often look for bad people in the wrong places.

—— Weight Watchers

Once again, Jewell delivers a story with characters you care about and enough twists to keep you hooked

—— Good Housekeeping

Apart from anything else, this book is an instant education about Incels - the new breed of men who identify as Involuntary Celibates...But that's just one of several profoundly disturbing themes that Jewell tackles with typical frankness in one of her most powerful books to date.

—— DAILY MAIL

If you want a clever, compelling plot with characters you won't forget, Lisa Jewell never fails to deliver - and her new novel is further proof!

—— Fabulous Mag

Another twisty, turny and tangled thriller from Lisa Jewell, which also manages to deliver a really satisfying and shocking denouement.

—— RED

A rollercoaster of tension and suspense

—— Woman & Home

'There's something about Lisa Jewell's thrillers that forces me to sit down and read them in one go, and her latest [...] is no different. I think she's one of the best domestic thriller authors out there, and I love how intensely current the themes of Invisible Girl are'

—— Bookbrunch
