Thank you to NetGalley and the publishing house for providing a review copy of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

There isn’t a Lisa Jewell novel that I haven’t loved so I was excited to get a chance to review her latest thriller.

Owen Pick is in his thirties, living with a relative, and really struggles socially at work and in his persona life.

When a student accuses him of sexual conduct, it sends Owen into a rage about all the times his intentions have been misinterpreted and how angering it is that he can’t get dates.

Through his rage, he ends up stumbling upon a web community of, “involuntary celibates,” He really believes he has found his people and finally has a place to spew all of the hate that’s building inside of him.

When a girl goes missing though, it’s this damning evidence and the encounters with the neighbor family that really come into play.

It makes Owen an easy target for blame, but is he really responsible for this troubled girl’s disappearance?

This was a decent thriller, but seemed to lack the spark and twists that I have appreciated from her past work.

Jewell still delivers though on a fast page-turner that already has me looking forward to her next book.

The life of four Londoners is about to intersect in ways they cannot even imagine. First, there is Owen Pick, a 30-year-old who still lives with his aunt. He hasn’t been very successful in love and now there are allegations of misconduct with students so while the university conducts their investigation he is suspended.

Across the street from him are the Fours. They are only there on a temporary basis as they wait on home renovations. Cate is busy with her work and taking care of their children while Roan is a psychotherapist. He is busy with his therapy practice, going on runs and Cate suspects perhaps busy with other extramarital activities.

And, then there is 17-year-old Saffyre Maddox who used to be a patient of Roan’s. She suffered abuse as a child and thought she was feeling better until Roan decided she was cured but she’s not and she’s not quite ready to stop seeing Roan either and one day she finds out where he lives and decides to keep watch and see what she learns about Roan.

Meanwhile a series of sexual assaults are occurring in the area and things take a turn for the worse with the disappearance of Saffyre. As the police conduct their investigations the lives of these four protagonists will be forever changed. I enjoyed the twists and the changing points of view. I find that just like in previous Lisa Jewell books, suspicion always points in various directions and that makes for an engaging read. It’s not my favorite of hers but I couldn’t wait to turn one more page just to see what next.

I've been reading Lisa Jewell's books since I read her debut, Ralph's Party, about 20 years ago. Her books have revolved and she no longer writes chick lit/women's fiction. Her suspense/thriller books have been hit or miss for me, but let me say I absolutely loved Invisible Girl. I'm not the fastest reader, but I couldn't put this book down and finished it in a couple of days. I loved the alternating view points and all the twists. I really hope her next book is just as good. Thank you to Atria and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book! This is the second title I have read by Lisa Jewell and I look forward to reading her other titles! I enjoyed the suspense in this novel. I felt that it was a little slow going in the beginning, but I was determined to see this through to figure out how the pieces fit together and boy was I glad I did!! Once I was at about 43% in I wanted to know what was going on! I kept going back and forth and was very surprised in how it all turned out, but I was happy! I will be recommending this book to others! Thank you again to NetGalley!!

This is my third Lisa Jewell book, and it did not disappoint. I love how well she creates a mystery and keeps you questioning the whole time. There were several times I was sure I knew what happened, but by the next chapter I was convinced of another theory. I really enjoyed this twisty page-turner and look forward to reading future Jewell novels.

***4 -4.5 Stars ***

I won't summarize this because if you know Lisa Jewell you know it's going to be a hit and the less you know going in the better. While this wasn't my favorite Lisa Jewell (The Family Upstairs and Watching You) to date, it was still a great read. Always lots of characters told from multiple POVs, that stories intertwine so perfectly done. Highly recommend and of course anxiously waiting for the next Lisa Jewell release that will immediately go to the top of the to be read pile.

Thanks to NetGalley and Century for allowing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book, but wasn’t overly impressed. The ending felt a bit anticlimactic, some of the details that were stressed seemed random and chaotic, and the whole incel plot line was supremely disturbing, which I’m sure was the point, but it just did not sit well with me. Otherwise, the characters were interesting and I was very drawn into the mystery, and enjoyed seeing how it unfolded.

Written in multiple perspective format, Invisible Girl follows the investigation of a missing girl and the search for the truth. As the story unfolds, readers soon discover that secrets have a way of getting out.

Owen Pick is a little odd, awkward in his dealings with women. This fact has gotten him into hot water regarding Owen's job as a teacher.

Saffyre Maddox is a teenager on a mission. Will her desire to get to the truth put Saffyre's life in danger?

Roan Fours is a child psychologist, living in the neighborhood where the young woman was last seen. His connection to Saffyre plays directly into her last recorded movements.

Roan's family: wife, daughter, and son. Can any, or all of them, bring the young woman home?

I wanted to like Invisible Girl, but I was not a fan of the format. The multiple points of view muddied the story, keeping the plot off balance in a disappointing way. The biggest problem that I had with Invisible Girl was that the story itself was not all that original. I have read similar books to this one, novels that more successfully integrated the characters with the plot. For these reasons, I would be hesitant to recommend Invisible Girl to other readers.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy of Invisible Girl by NetGalley and Atria Books, but the choice to review it was entirely my own.

This thriller kept me engaged and interested the whole time. The pace was decent and the mystery surrounding the events was intriguing, but not hard to figure out. None of the characters were realized deep enough or even very likeable. They all were problematic in their own ways, which made it hard to get attached, but the descriptions were vivid enough in creating the world and there was just something about the plot that made me want to find out what happened. Overall, it’s ok if you are looking for a light thriller to read. ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Atria Books for providing me with a copy of Lisa Jewell’s latest novel, Invisible Girl, in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Jewell is one of my favorite mystery/suspense authors and she has another winner with her latest novel, Invisible Girl.

Saffyre Maddox is a beautiful, seventeen year old living under the care of her older brother. Her childhood was marked, not only by the loss of her parents, but by a traumatic experience that led her to self-harm. Saffyre spent several years under the care of Roan Fours, a highly-regarded child psychologist. However, Saffyre remained guarded during her sessions with Roan and although he declared her fit enough to end their sessions, she never revealed the truth of her trauma. Years after her final session with Roan, she finds herself interested in his life, including following him, discovering that he has been having an affair with a young colleague. Saffyre is an “invisible Girl” hiding in shadows and even sleeping in an abandoned lot across the street from Roan’s home. She is slowly turning almost feral.

On the other side of town, Roan’s family has been renting a home in a posh, seemingly safe neighborhood. However, tensions are high when several women are sexually assaulted, including Roan’s daughter’s friend. Suspicion falls on Owen Pick, a man in his early thirties who lives across the street from Fours family. Owen is reclusive and socially awkward. To make matters worse, he has recently been suspended from work due to allegations of inappropriate behavior with the young girls that he teaches.

When Saffyre goes missing, her blood and possessions are discovered on the window outside of Owen’s bedroom window and he is arrested. However, days pass and detectives cannot find Saffyre’s body. Is Owen involved with Saffyre’s disappearance or has he been labeled guilty based on circumstantial evidence and wild accusations?

Jewell is masterful at crafting mystery and as with her previous novels, you never quite know the outcome until the very last pages. This story dives into the #metoo movement and takes a close look at the perspectives of both victims and perpetrators. It also looks at those who must confront their inappropriate behavior and take responsibility. The last few years has brought on the concept of “Cancel Culture.” I can understand the desire to “cancel” people who behave in harmful ways, but it also cancels the concept of redemption for those who are open to accepting responsibility and change. Jewell allows one of her characters ( no spoilers), someone who can change and wants to change, the opportunity to be forgiven. It’s quite a beautiful and powerful part of the story. No worries, those who should truly be punished definitely get their reckoning!

Invisible Girl is heartbreaking, surprising and affecting. It is a solid, suspenseful mystery with memorable characters. I recommend Invisible Girl along with Jewell’s other novels. She’s a fabulous writer!

This book was amazing! Just when I thought I had it figured out it switched gears on me. This kept me guessing until the end. I loved the complexity of the characters. Each one had a story. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.

My favorite genre, psychological thriller. Invisible Girl did't disappoint. It was a fun, fast, thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. It ended exactly as it should and I highly recommend it if you like a good, who done it.

Lisa Jewell can do no wrong in my eyes, I don't know how she does it! Page-turners every single time, although this one was more of a slow-burn (not a bad thing!). I was a little hesitant before reading this one in particular because missing kids/teens are truly well beyond overdone in the genre right now, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it despite being a little underwhelmed by the thought of another missing child thriller.

I a fan of this author and have read several of her books now, and this one felt a little familiar and somewhat like Watching You (small street, neighbors watching each other, family secrets, cheating husbands, etc.) but it was a good read nonetheless.

So far this is my favorite Lisa Jewell book that I have read so far. This story was layered with twists and turns. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster and it was fantastic!! We had several different characters perspectives, Owen, Josh, Saffyre. and Roan. Lisa does a great job of character building with multiple characters without it being overwhelming or confusing. I enjoyed the several different perspectives and how she has built the characters in to make the twists and turns in with their story.
This is one of those stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you suspecting everyone. I love mysteries/thrillers that make me feel like I am the detective trying to figure out the ending.
I'm looking forward to reading more y Lisa Jewell in the future. I really feel like with each new book she releases she gets better and better.

Thank you for the advanced copy of this book. My reviews can be read on my GoodReads account here: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1335387-kelly

4.5 Stars! Compulsively gripping, chilling, and absolutely unputdownable!

INVISIBLE GIRL by LISA JEWELL had me racing through the pages. I was completely intrigued and captivated right from the very first page. She has this unique ability to firmly draw you into the storyline and her well-defined characters. I absolutely love her writing.

So when I said that I couldn't put this down, I really meant it. If I wasn't able to read, I was listening to it! I think this is the fastest that I have ever flown through a book.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Lisa Jewell for my review copy!

Lisa Jewell is a great thriller/mystery writer. She’s consistent and reliable in developing complex characters that you can never quite tell if their motivations are dark or not. This book was in line with what you’d expect from Jewell and was engaging from beginning to end.

Oh man, this author is one that is such a hit or miss. I either love her book or am bored to tears with it. This was sadly the latter. I just didn't know how to feel or who to feel bad for.

I've only recently begun reading Lisa Jewell's work, but she's quickly become an auto-read author for me!

The Invisible Girl started out a bit slow but kept me wanting more. Once it got going, I couldn't put it down! I guessed a few of the twists, and it felt a bit predictable at moments. This wasn't my favorite of hers as a result, but still really enjoyed it overall and would absolutely recommend it!
