Readers say *Don't Let Him In* is a gripping psychological thriller with dual timelines and multiple POVs that delve into deception and manipulation. ...
This book is amazing! I will say the women in this book got on my nerves! The plot and twist were cool! Nick/Alistair (Al,) is a piece of work!
This novel is a well-crafted, engaging thriller, featuring concise chapters that facilitate a swift reading experience—an attribute I have come to associate with this author. The narrative frequently shifts between timelines and alternates between first- and third-person perspectives. While this narrative structure initially required some adjustment, it ultimately contributed to the book’s complexity. Although I remained interested in the story’s resolution, I found the plot relatively predictable and not as compelling as I had hoped. Regrettably, this particular work did not rank among my favorites from this author.
This reminded me of the show You, in a book version (though the show was originally a book series). There are a lot of characters to keep track of and at times it gets confusing who is who. I was often wanting to shake the shoulders of the women and their decisions, but the main character is unique in that there is nothing redeeming about him to us, the reader. He is always insufferable, unsympathetic, sociopathic.
Fairly quick read, not Jewell’s best or worst book.
Goes back and forth between characters and time periods too much for me and is predictable
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Found it wasn’t predictable and liked the twist and turns. Easy to read
