An up-all-night gripping story with characters who feel as real as you and me. Lisa Jewell is the kind of writer you read twice – once as a breathless reader, to see how the story unfolds, and then again to try to work out how she makes it look so easy.
—— Erin KellyReally good, gripping. I couldn't bear for it to finish.
—— Olivia ColmanLisa Jewell's dark and twisty thriller explores the murkier reaches of the human psyche, confounding expectations as it reaches a shocking denouement.
—— Daily MailI 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 CaseyDark, gripping, emotionally intense. My heart hurt from being squeezed so tight.
—— Tamar CohenA breathtakingly brilliant novel by an author at the absolute top of her game.
—— Jenny ColganCompelling and surprisingly moving - Lisa Jewell never lets you down.
—— Clare MackintoshInvisible Girl. I loved it. Every damn word.
—— AJ FinnAn 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 SherrattAnother 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 MarwoodI 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 TyceLisa Jewell excels at writing psychological thrillersthat keep you guessing till the very end . . . a must read.
—— IndependentWhat 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 ParksSkin-crawlingly creepy, this reveals the dangerous preconceptions about those around us.
—— Crime Monthly MagazineAn engrossing and compelling read.

—— Weight WatchersOnce again, Jewell delivers a story with characters you care about and enough twists to keep you hooked
—— Good HousekeepingApart 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 MAILIf 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!

—— REDA 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'
