Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious

Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since

Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude

[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision

Raymond Chandler is a master

Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye

Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . A great artist

Anything Chandler writes about grips the mind from the first sentence

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

An engrossing and compelling read.

One of my favourite authors

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

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

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.

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!

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

A rollercoaster of tension and suspense

'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'
