I loved this book. I've been a big fan of Lisa Jewell since reading And Then She Was Gone but this novel was possibly even better. The plot was fast paced and twisty and the characters were believable. I sometimes struggle to keep track of multiple narratives in novels but this was easy to follow. Another hit for Lisa Jewell.

Lisa Jewell is my go-to author for psychological thrillers and she has surpassed herself with "Invisble Girl.

She tells the tale from alternating perspectives and what a tale it is. A mystery full of suspence and peopled with a variety of excellently drawn and highly credible characters.

The writing is excellent , the tension drawn out and it grabbed me from the opening chapter.

A wonderful book from an author at the top of her form.

Highly recommended.

A creepy, fast paced psychological thriller about a troubled 17 year old girl, a misunderstood 33 year man who has never had sex and has a fear of women stemming from a childhood of neglect and trauma and a family of 4 with ALOT of issues! Their lives become intertwined with unimaginable consequences.
It took me awhile to get my head around the characters and how they were linked but once I was engrossed I had to know how it ended. Short chapters with alternating views make it hard to put down and I have to say I didnt see the ending coming! I would definitely recommend this book.

Thank you for the arc of this book.
I am a fan of Lisa Jewell and so was excited to get started on this book.
The story is about a young girl called Saffyre, who has a somewhat troubled past, one night Saffyre goes missing.
The story is told from several characters viewpoints which really works with this book. The first being Cate who is a wife and mother of Roan‘s children, Roan was Saffyre’s chid therapist. There is also Owen, a local 33 year old school teacher and a bit of loner who lives with his aunt.
Invisible Girl’.
Prior to Saffyre going missing a recent spate of sexual assaults have been happening in the upmarket village of Hampstead, where the story is set. With Owen recently being dismissed from his teaching job due to sexual harassment, the finger is pointed at him. The story goes onto explore what has happened and all of the view points are fantastically linked. This book really was gripping and hard to put down as you just have to know what has happened and is about to happen. It really did captivate me. Fantastic thriller full of twists and turns.
Amazing book, yet another by Lisa Jewell!

Right beside the big houses lies a wasteland, which suggests there’s very little difference between what’s going on in one than the other. Saffyre Maddox has carried the pain of a terrible experience around with her for years. The only person qualified to help her is the same person from whom she now hides. Meanwhile Owen Pick is not living his best life, in fact, anything but. He feels like no one cares about him – but has he found something to care about? But when the unimaginable happens, suddenly everyone has an opinion on Owen. I was pleasantly surprised with this plot; I’ve read all of Lisa’s books but with this one I didn’t know what to expect. It really made me think for a long time after I finished it and I’d definitely urge readers to pick it up.

Invisible Girl is the first book of Lisa Jewell's that I have read. All I can say is that it gave me a few late nights!
Set in London, we meet:
Saffyre Maddox a girl who's affected by a painful incident in her past.
Cate and Roan Fours and their two children who have temporarily moved to a new area due to house renovations.
Owen Pick a neighbour. He has never had a girlfriend or even a friend really.
As the story unfolds we see how these characters lives intertwine when a woman disappears. Lisa Jewell excells at making the reader question how we see those around us and how we judge them.
This book kept me gripped right up to the last page.

Read in one sitting.

Invisible Girl is incredible but you already knew that by the author! I wonder if I’ll ever meet a bad Lisa Jewell book?!

I liked that the characters were strange and that isn’t a bad thing. Strangeness wasn’t used a flaw....well maybe in places but that had a point! Don’t judge a book by its cover!

Fast paced, full of suspense and a guaranteed best seller! Loved it!

Only thing I didn’t like was the end twist. I thought that was how the plot was going to end up!

I whizzed through Invisible Girl, Lisa Jewell’s upcoming book out in August, in ONE night - Friends, you will not want to miss this one! 📆

I really REALLY enjoyed this (psychological) thriller! It was actually my first read by Jewell and it really didn’t disappoint. Her writing style reminded me a bit of a cross between Robert Bryndza and Lucy Foley. I’ll definitely be checking out some of her backlist 👏🏻

Invisible Girl was everything I needed right now, it was dark, suspenseful, perfectly paced with a unique, addictive, and just plain engrossing premise! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT

This author never fails to impress. Great characters, well developed. You actually feel like you know them. Super twists and turns to the plot, she just keeps you guessing. I love how this book delves in to those ‘unusual’ characters in society, those who people are quick to blame. It’s great to challenge those stereotypes.
Would definitely recommend this book.

‘Invisible Girl’ follows Saffyre, a young girl with a troubled past who has gone missing. Written from multiple points of view, we also follow Cate whose husband Roan used to treat Saffyre for her self-harming and Owen, a 33 year old loner who loses his job at college for being inappropriate towards female students. Their stories are connected by this missing teenager in ways you don’t expect. Saffyre knows a lot more than she should and now she’s been missing for 11 days, will anyone be able to figure out what happened to her...
I really enjoyed this story, it’s my second Lisa Jewell book and her writing is just so captivating. She is able to craft characters incredibly well so even though this was paced slower than her other work I’d read it was still intriguing and I wanted to know where the story was going.
I thought I’d figured out what had happened to Saffyre around the 60% mark but there were so many red herrings that the ending was still a surprise. The very last chapter in particular shocked me and I loved it! I think this is definitely worth a read and I just think Lisa Jewell is fantastic at what she does.

I was excited to read Invisible Girl, Lisa Jewell’s latest novel as I’d read a number of hers previously.

The book started well, with promises of a thrilling, gritty plot line and a book that would reveal numerous secrets. Having said that, I found it to be a slow burner and whilst enjoyable it just didn’t grip me. I felt it didn’t live up to her previous work such as Then She Was Gone.

I would rate this book 3.5 stars. Thanks to NetGalley, Random House UK and the author for the chance to review.

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell was a brilliantly crafted story which I literally finished in one day. I loved all of the characters and just allowed myself to be absorbed into the book. Lisa brought them all so well to life, with their mannerisms, fears, emotions and, of course, with dark question marks and undercurrents. Saffyre’s story interconnects with Owen’s and Roan’s and Cate’s. All very different but the threads keep bringing them closer. The bond between Saffyre and Aaron is fantastic, in stark opposition to the lack of one between Owen and his dad. Cate is so central to the entire story yet doesn’t really come across as a strong person throughout so we’re unsure if she’s really got a handle on what’s going on or is just fearful and opting for an easier life.
The ingredients of trauma, emotional neglect, abandonment and betrayal are balanced with connections, relationship, hope and possibility. Five stars from me

Another great book by Lisa Jewell. Invisible Girl follows three very different characters, whose lives intertwine unexpectedly. The whole plot keeps you guessing throughout and has brilliant moments of tension and frustration to keep you hooked. Loved it.

I love Lisa Jewell's books and this one certainly didn't disappoint. The story is well thought out, and reminds me in some ways of Barbara Vine's books (another author I love). The way in which the various characters interlink is clever, and the characters themselves are utterly believable, without becoming stereotypes. I couldn't put this down, and the ending, was completely satisfactory. I would definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book but for me compared to previous books by this author, which I loved. This was a bit of a slow burner. I expected a bigger twist.

I enjoyed this book, Lisa Jewell has a great ability to write novels with humour at the beginning and moved on to psychological thrillers. While I found it a bit slower than her usual books it was still very readable with good characters.

London: On a fine avenue of grand houses, big cars and electronic gates, lies a neglected urban wasteland. It is nearly midnight, and very cold. Yet in this dark place of long grass and tall trees where cats hunt and foxes shriek, a girl is waiting. When Saffyre Maddox was ten something terrible happened and she's carried the pain of it around with her ever since. The man who she thought was going to heal her didn't, and now she hides from him, invisible in the shadows, learning his secrets; secrets she could use to blow his safe, cosy world apart. Owen Pick is invisible too. He's thirty-three years old and he's never had a girlfriend, he's never even had a friend. Nobody sees him. Nobody cares about him. But when Saffyre Maddox disappears from opposite his house on Valentine's night, suddenly the whole world is looking at him. Accusing him. Holding him responsible. Because he's just the type, isn't he? A bit creepy?

I am going to start by saying I love this genre and type of read Jewell has been writing recently however, it is getting a bit samey and it would be nice to have something a bit different. Anyway, now that is out the way I return to this read and I simply adored the atmosphere and location of the read. It really assisted in building the tension throughout the read and I was on the edge of my seat throughout.

The location is perfect, on the outside it looks safe and impenetrable but look closely and the cracks and danger start to appear. One aspect I enjoyed the most about this was the characters, they are such a wonderful mix. Cate and her children are just lovely and it was enjoyable getting to know them and seeing how the events of the book impact them. The we have Saffyre, a strong, fierce and yet vulnerable person, I felt for her so much and really felt all the pain she experiences alongside her. Finally we have Owen; what a wonderful, likeable, flawed and naïve character. I just loved all the quirks and foibles the characters have and they made this book all the more enjoyable.

I have already said this has high tension throughout and I return to this point. Jewell really does build and build this intoxicating, intense tension and I was just waiting for the climax. I have to say I was a little disappointed but only because there was a lack of shocks, the plot direction and ending was needless to say perfect.

'Invisible Girl' is a high tension, intense read, full of pain and a read that comes alive with Jewell's marvellous creations.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK for an advance copy.

This was a great read. The pacing was different from Lisa Jewell’s other work, but readers are presented with a book as layered and gripping as her other novels. With a recipe of cast of characters who all have strong and distinctive voices and a compelling story that takes you shivering down a dark avenue, this book is a perfect concoction sure to warm the cockles of any thrill-loving reader’s heart.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the arc, which I have enjoyed reading.
Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell was a strange book to read and it took me some time before I could focus on the storyline. This could be the sign of the times with the Coronavirus Pandemic or just the story not flowing as Lisa Jewell’s books normally do.
Having now finished the book, I can look back and see how clever the storyline was and how intricately drawn the characters were. Saffyre, Josh and Owen Pick, are all portrayed as loners and possibly losers but by the end of the book they are the people who redeem themselves and are the people who overcome obstacles to be the people that have a future. Then just at the very end you receive that final twist in the tale and you are left to wonder.
Highly recommended.

Very pleased to get this book as Lisa Jewell is a big favourite of mine. It didn't disappoint and I will always recommend her books.
