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

There is no legal action you can take against such men unless they injure you or others, so they keep getting away with it. In this story he committed murder and assault so the story makes a tidy ending but this is often not the reality of such unethical behaviour. Sociopaths clever enough not to cross that line, while taking women’s finances and destroying their lives, again and again.

How close to truth it is, having been a victim and eventually getting to know the other victims of such a man.

I love this author, can’t wait for the next title. I’ve listened to every book she has on audible and not a single disappointment. Great narrators and creative storylines.

Great story!

Fantastic book! Very cleverly written and great characters. I thought the actors narrating the parts were fantastic and different voices helped me keep track of the various characters.

Binge worthy!

Wonderful, slick, addictive and a satisfying ending. Jewell is in my opinion the undisputed best of domestic thrillers. Other authors may bait you in with tantalising topics only for you to discover they are not actually very good at prose or developing believable characters. Lisa you do not disappoint!

Her Best yet! The BEST domestic thriller writer.

it was a bit tricky to follow the names of the women and their backgrounds but enthralling all the same.

what was interesting to me was the demented reasoning with himself he had for all his actions. Very interesting physiology.

Absolutely hooked from the first chapter! This is the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to because of the perfectly executed narration behind the fantastic story. I don’t know how anything can top this. Well done Lisa Jewell, what a brilliant mind you have!

How does Lisa Jewell do it?
Amazing story with so many branches that come together so fantastically at the end… you’ll love, empathise with and despise the characters.
For those who love an incredibly crafted mystery thriller this is definitely for you.

Incredible!
