He’s the perfect man.

He says he loves you.

You think he might even be made for you.

Before long he’s moved into your house – and into your heart.

And then he leaves for days at a time. You don’t know where he’s gone or who he’s with.

And you realise - if you looked back - you’d say to yourself:

DON’T LET HIM IN.

Don’t miss the new listen-in-one-sitting Lisa Jewell novel; a cautionary story that could happen to you…

'Gripping. Shocking. Masterful.' FREIDA McFADDEN

Editorial Review

A puzzle worth solving...
Lisa Jewell’s Don’t Let Him In ensnared me from the beginning. From the character interactions that made me want to pull out my hair in frustration to the genuine a-ha moments when things began to click, I was hooked. Following recent widow Nina, mourning daughter Ash, and neglected wife and mom Martha, Don’t Let Him In explores the complexities of these women's relationship with a man that turns out very wrong. Not only do they learn they shouldn't have let him in, it might be too late to avoid what may come crashing down on them. I had almost visceral reactions to the lies told, stories believed, actions ignored. And to put a cherry on top of these well-developed characters, Don't Let Him In is a multi-cast listen performed by top-notch talents like Richard Armitage, Joanne Froggatt, Tamaryn Payne, Gemma Whelan, Louise Brealey, and Patience Tomlinson. —Nicole R., Audible Editor

I literally want all her books to be 3 part series on the TV. Lots of character perspectives and layers. You sort of know what’s going to happen next but that’s part of the joy!

If you want a binge listen Lisa Jewell is your go to gal

BEST BOOK YET

Loved it! Understandably triggering for some listeners, and, spoilers, not going to lie I was VERY disappointed we didn’t get a chapter from his perspective at the end. I feel I didn’t as much closure I was hoping for with the ending. Overall, fantastic listen/read
