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.

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

Brilliant narration, phenomenal story

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!

Incredible!

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.

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

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!

Outstanding 🤩

This was my 7th book from Lisa Jewell. This has to be my favourite so far. The story is gripping, thrilling and very complexed. Although this story is fictional you can relate this story to some real life situations. The story is brilliant and masterful, it keeps you listening/turning pages and the narrator’s were absolutely amazing, for this I give this book 5⭐️🤩

Solid performances with an interesting story

This was very easy to listen to, but some of the characters seemed incredibly dense. It also doesn’t really have that many twists, however, the plot is by no means boring. I quite like this author and this was a really solid story.

Captivating and thrilling

I could not put this down from starting this book. A good storyline filled with twists and turns, it pulls you in, I loved the way it was told with the actors voices too. Another great book Lisa Jewel!

The character and story development was amazing I was hooked !

This was my first thriller and the fastest audio books I’ve ever read - I can’t believe how many times I rolled my eyes or said argh out loud. I was hooked. Richard’s narration was brilliant and his voice had me hooked.

Binge worthy!

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.
