Don't Let Him In: A Novel

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.

Loved it! Didn’t like the British accents at first but they lent themselves to the plot.

I very much enjoyed this book as a great gripping book that you would think be a clinche and predictable but instead is full of twists and turns. I loved how it was multiple narratives including the male suspect. From the moment you meet this man enter the lives of each character, you make assumptions and wonder when he will get caught. I have read a few others by this author but this latest one is definitely a top one!

Kinda slow and a predictable outcome but I still enjoyed it
