DON’T LET HIM IN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Release, 6/24/2025. Lisa Jewell has done it again! Nina a single mother to 2 adult children, has just become a widow, as her husband, a local famous restaurateur. was pushed into train tracks and killed. Martha is a florist with 3 children with a husband named Nick who has a habit of disappearing for days on end for his work. Somehow these lives are intertwined, and it’s a domestic thriller you won’t be able to put down! I read this book in 3 sittings. In short addictive chapters, with multiple POV and dual timeline, you can’t stop figuring out how the pieces come together. As someone who loves Dateline, this book feels right out of a mess of the show. You won’t be able to put it down, and I know this book will be a huge hit, and resonate with women and our gut instinct! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

2.75/5 rounded up.

Sorry, but this was just not for me. And that was so disappointing because I've heard such great things about this author and her books (and this one sounded so good from the description).

My main issue with this book was the weird writing style switch up (and I wasn't a fan of how either writing style was done either). Depending on the POV, the writing style and person (like first person, third person) changed. And that was so jarring to me. I really didn't like that. I found it distracting and it took me out of it.

Such a great premise though. The execution just wasn't for me though. But I'm sure lots of other people would love it. I can see how this works.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

If you give me the opportunity to read a Lisa Jewell book, I’m going to rearrange my plans immediately because I know I’m going to want to dive right in and not put it down until I’m done. Don’t Let Him In is another hit! I truly don’t understand how Lisa Jewell’s mind works. How does she come up with such intricate, edge-of-your-seat storylines over and over again? This is a book about several intelligent, complex, interesting women and a man who is at least in the running for the world’s worst man. As always with Lisa Jewell’s books, there are twists and turns and just as you think you have things figured out . . . the book goes in a different direction. I sped through this entire book, but I quite literally could not put it down for the last 20% - I was on pins and needles, waiting to see what happened. And, as always with her books, it all came together perfectly. There’s a reason why I always recommend Lisa Jewell’s books when someone is looking for a good thriller!

Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell is a thriller that delves into the lives of three women, each tied to a mysterious and dangerous man. All of the characters in this novel are well developed and deeply complex, and dealing with their own challenges while unraveling a web of secrets. I loved the escalating tension between the characters, as the unraveling of their connections built up to a chilling climax. This book was amazing and packed with twists and suspense. Lisa Jewell does not miss!

Don’t Let Him In By Lisa Jewell.

Three women are all connected by one man!

When Nina’s husband Paddy is killed, she receives a package from her husband’s old friend Nick. Paddy’s daughter Ash isn’t happy when the two become close.

Martha is a florists who lives with her husband Al who is always traveling for work. Living Martha to feel like a single parent. She knows something needs to change.

Nick and Al can’t be trusted! Who are they really?

This book had me on the edge of my seat! I can’t believe how terrible Nick and Al are. What secrets are they keeping from the ones they care about?There was twists and things I didn’t see coming at all! The ending was shocking!

I feel so lucky to have received an E-ARC of Lisa’s book! She always knows how to write an amazing thriller book. I just couldn’t put this one down! Thank you so much NetGalley, Lisa Jewell and Atria Books for the E-ARC!

I devoured Lisa Jewell's latest novel in a single sitting; it was truly unputdownable! The narrative offered a thrillingly dark and twisted experience—imagine "Dirty John" taken to the extreme! The story unfolds through multiple perspectives over several years, and I can easily envision it being adapted into a Netflix miniseries. This is a must-read!

(3.5 rounded up) I’ve read 3 Lisa Jewell books now, including this one, and all 3 left me with different feelings. I thought Watching You was a page-turner with a lot of twists that I forgot about pretty quickly. Then, None of This is True was pacey and plotty and I was enjoying myself until the ending, which I found awful and honestly offensive. I can’t say much without risking spoilers, but it felt extremely problematic when I read it. This one was much more successful to me. It reads more like a thriller, in my opinion. There are different storylines weaving together involving different women in different circumstances, all centered around one very bad man. There is a mystery over a death and also a mystery of how exactly these women are linked and what this central man has done in totality, but this wasn’t as twisty as the other two books in her oeuvre that I’ve read. I read this quickly and enjoyed my time with it.
