Thank you for providing me with a review copy of this book. Enjoyed reading, nice twist at the end, would recommend....

Another triumph from Lisa Jewell. She just has this way of making you feel that you know what’s going to happen. You find yourself lured into a false sense of security and BOOM, what you thought is absolutely nothing compared to the twists. She is hands down one of the queens of the suspense novel.

I jump on Lisa Jewell books like a parched traveller thirsty for a good drink of water, and as each one seems to get darker and more creepy, the more I enjoy them. This is no exception.
Full of *interesting* characters, we are fed the plot via multiple points of view, the main focus being Saffyre, the 17 year old with the traumatic past; Owen Pick, the creepy thirty-something male teacher, still a virgin, and currently 'at home' following allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him at; and Roan Fours, the link between them all, who lives opposite Owen Pick, and who has also been seeing Saffyre professionally for the last three year.
There is a recent history of sexual assaults against women in the area, and when Saffyre mysteriously disappears, the tension ramps up as Owen becomes the prime suspect...but as is often the case, all is not as it seems!
As always Lisa Jewell writes a gem of a book that keep the reader turning those pages until the bitter end!
4 stars.

‘I only need owls and foxes and stars and fireworks.’

When Saffyre Maddox goes missing, all eyes turn to Owen Pick. A loner on leave from work after allegations of sexual misconduct, the public and police are all too ready to believe that he must have something to do with Saffyre’s disappearance. While Owen attempts to prove his innocence, a family secret threatens to implode the seemingly perfect Fours family who happen to live right across the street from Owen.

This was by far my favourite Lisa Jewel novel. I quite enjoyed the slow burn and the multiple perspectives. My BIG complaint is that I have NO INTEREST in sympathising with an incel, so it was definitely hard to read through these parts. I understand this was part of the character development but personally I think their perspectives should not be given the time of day. Could have done without.

Lisa can be relied on to write a gripping thriller,my only complaint is that the ending can sometimes be lacking when you have been so excited rushing to find out what happens next.
With Invisible Girl I couldn’t guess who to trust and the final twist had me surprised although I have to say I didn’t instantly warm to anyone including the main protagonist.
It’s a definite hard copy addition to my book shelf and I am still a fan of Lisa’s books but they’re not quite perfect yet.

Thank you to Random House Cornerstone and NetGalley for the free review copy.

Accepted for this 6 months after release and have already read a physical copy. It was a good read, very suspenseful.

I have read and enjoyed a large number of Lisa Jewell's books so had high expectations before I started 'Invisible Girl' and wasn't disappointed. I liked how the plot unfolded gradually, revealed bit by bit through the narratives of Saffyre, Cate and Owen. The storyline was engaging and Ia compulsive read. The characterisation of the three narrators was excellent; they were believable and fully developed. I was less convinced by Alicia, however and found her less plausible as a character on several levels but would give away spoilers if I were to elaborate.

'Invisible Girl' is a fast paced psychological thriller; it addresses some sensitive topics and handles them well. Lisa Jewell doesn't sugar-coat the gritty realities of life and her books stay in your head for a while after you've finished reading them. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa as an author and give 'Invisible Girl' a five star rating.

Thank-you to Random House UK and Netgalley. I was unable to send my copy to my Kindle so listened to the audiobook version from my local library instead.

Saffyre Maddox has been watching her psychologist. Hiding under her hoodie, in the shadows, she sees alot. She knows a lot about Dr.Four. Things he doesn't want anyone to know.
Bad things are happening in Cate Four's neighborhood. Women are being assaulted, people are lurking in the shadows, and her neighbor is being creepy. Cate has no idea where her husband is half the time, or who her children are hanging out with.
When the police show up at her door with questions about a missing girl, Cate has questions of her own. What does the girl have to do with her family? Who is the man she watches across the street? And where the hell is her husband?

Lisa Jewell is good at building up her characters individually then connecting them in the storys twist. A lot of writers throw in a few unnecessary characters into their stories as distractions, but Jewell doesn't do that. Every character is important and must be watched. This keeps the reader hooked, and is why I read the book in one sitting.
Invisible Girl has it all. The storyline was gripping, and the plot twist/end was perfect. I do wish it was darker, but Jewell doesn't go there. Her books are meant to be thrilling, not psychologically scarring. lol !

Invisible Girl is an excellent domestic thriller, my new favorite Lisa Jewell book!

Another fantastic read from Lisa Jewell. One of my favourite authors, I love everything she writes and this was no exception.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.

I’m a big fan of Lisa Jewell’s books and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. The story centres on the disappearance of a young girl, Saffyre, who has had a troubled childhood. Roan is the child psychologist dealing with her case and is an unlikeable character. He is married to Cate and has two teenage children. Owen, a college lecturer, is an odd character. He lives opposite Roan with his aunt and he has never had a girlfriend. As the plot thickens we discover how these characters are linked and what secrets they are all hiding. Lisa explores how appearances can be deceiving and how quickly society judges people. This is a story about secrets, lies, deception with quite a few sensitive topics covered and fascinating characters whose stories will have you gripped. A highly recommended read.
Thanks to Netgalley and Cornerstone for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

17 year old Saffyre Maddox is feeling lost after stopping counselling, struggling to cope with the secret she failed to reveal to her therapist Roan Fours. Roan has his own troubles: he, his wife Cate and their two children have had to temporarily move into rented accommodation, leaving them living across the road from Owen Pick - a loner in his 30s who's soon suspended from his job as a teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct, and who Roan and Cate's daughter is sure followed her home. The connections between them are insubstantial and flimsy, but soon become the focus of a criminal investigation when Saffyre goes missing, and the last person to see her is no other than Owen Pick...

Ok, this is a very hard book to review, as I'm cautious of the need not to reveal any potential spoilers! What I will say is that it is definitely not what I expected from the blurb - it was better. The book is narrated by Saffyre, Cate and Owen, with Saffyre's sections being told on a slightly different timeline. This meant that there was a real drip drip drip of information, which kept you captivated and desperate to find out what happens next! There's so many suspicious characters along the way, and the way Jewell writes means you assume everyone is hiding something, and she definitely throws in a few red herrings along the way!

However, along with being a great thriller, it was also a really interesting exploration of how important it is to avoid prejudging people, as it shows in a multitude of different ways how people rarely are who you think they will be, and how easy it is for anyone and everyone to hide behind a mask... A really quick and easy read, that dragged me in immediately and also raised some thought provoking questions. It's a win for me!

A tense, fast-paced psychological drama packed with twists and suspense

When 17-year-old Saffyre Maddox disappears on Valentine’s Night, both the police and local housewife Cat Fours instantly suspect one man – 33-year-old loner Owen Pick, who’s house Saffyre was last seen outside of on that fateful night. Owen is a natural person for suspicion to fall on – he lives with an elderly aunt, has never had a girlfriend and was recently suspended from his job as a teacher for inappropriate behaviour towards his students. With multiple attacks on women occurring all over town, Cat fears for herself and her teenage daughter, whilst also struggling with worries that her husband Roan might be having an affair. However, not all is as it seems – when Saffyre was a child, she began harming herself after experiencing a traumatic event, and Roan ended up being her therapist. As the media storm ramps up, secrets are revealed, and the links between Saffyre’s disappearance, Owen and Cats’ lives become clear.

This was a fantastic, twisty thriller-mystery story told from 3 separate points of view – damaged but spirited Saffyre, concerned mother Cat and oddball Owen. The plot is fast-paced and exciting with a dark, foreboding feel to the writing that keeps you turning pages, eager to find out the secrets that connect the three main narrators. There are plenty of suspicious characters and red herrings to keep you guessing, and the author touches on some really interesting subjects and raises fascinating questions about judging people and jumping to conclusions.

I felt empathy with all of the characters in this story, particularly poor Saffyre who has been through a lot in her life already. All of the main players were three-dimensional and believable, and all of them carried secrets that come out into the open as the book progresses. Owen, in particular, was a very well-written character - as a reader, you could understand why he is seen as ‘creepy’ and yet also sympathise with him and the loneliness of his life. I found the section about his online brush with the ‘Incel’ community particularly disturbing, especially when you consider that men like that do exist in the real world. The parallels between his life as an ‘invisible’ man and Saffyre’s ability to remain invisible to those around her were very well drawn, and the threads of the story all end up tying together well.


In conclusion, I very much enjoyed this story and found it an easy but thrilling read. I would definitely be keen to read more from this author in the future.

Elite Reviewing Group received a copy of this book to review.

Lisa Jewell has made me believe in second chances. I've previously tried, and failed, to read The Girls. I couldn't get behind it at all and ended not finishing it.

When I saw Invisible Girl I knew I need to try again because it's premise sounded so good.

I enjoyed the storyline, I felt connected to the characters and overall had a really good time. And although there weren't many twists, it also wasn't too predictable and it felt like a breath of fresh air.

Also, I bloody love an open ending where the final opinion of what actually may have happened is placed upon the reader and we will NEVER know!

Definitely recommend.

Verdict: Yes, read it. have been a bit obsessed with this book. Had to read it cover to cover over the weekend. And it is was worth it.

Plot: A young girl has kept a dark secret within her. She was small when she knew, but now the secret has changed her. Silent and observant, Saffyre has a strange obsession with her therapist. On the other end is another loner, Owen who is dealing with his own issues. Their world collides and things unravel.

Opinion: It is a straight up mystery. Very subtle and unnerving at times.

A teenage girl Saffire is treated by a child psychologist (Roan) for problems in her past , she discusses deaths of her family members but never discloses what seems to be the main trigger to her anxieties . After her discharge she becomes fixated on him and follows him without his knowledge . She discovers things about him that his wife and family do not suspect. Saffire takes to spending time in a copse opposite Roan's family flat which is due for a building project to begin , where she meets Roan's son Josh . She also meets a loner (Owen) living in a flat to the side of the building site. There have been a number of sexual assaults in the area and Saffire goes missing , blood and a number of clues are found below Owens flat and he becomes a suspect in a murder case and is arrested by D.I Currie and questioned about the assaults and the murder of Saffire although no body has been found . The reason for Saffires disappearance is uncovered and the involvement of Josh and others is laid bare in this thrilling story.

Lisa Jewel manages to make really nnoying people interesting and she's done it again

Although I didn't find it as enjoyable as some of her other titles, I hated being interrupted and having to leave off, and I found the characters kept occupying my mind when not reading.

The setting is a little more ofgbeat than some scenarios. The people of Hampstead and environs do it encompasses very exclusive dwellings and also a few high tides too.
A missing teenager, a child psychiatrist being stalked and his family being monitored and an oddball who is aware of his otherness, which makes women reluctant to date him.
I found a few outcomes a little banal and not very likely in real life, but it maintained it's unpredictability right to the end.

Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell 

The book brings together complex characters bringing out a thrilling psychological drama! Totally captivating
Owen Pick is arrested for abduction of young Saffyre Maddox, who he doesn't recall meeting. Everything he did seems to make him a suspect, even though he only remembers fragments of detail. People he doesn't remember are coming forward as witnesses against him.

Roan Fours, A child psychologist lives with his wife Cate and children Georgia and Josh in a new neighborhood. With a failing marriage, dramatic daughter, empathetic Josh, Cate has her handful!

Saffyre Maddox, never opened up to what happened to her in therapy, couldn't connect with her family or sleep in her own home. She tries to find a solution for her problems on her own.

The book is about how their lives collide in shocking twists and turns. The story is written from Owen, Saffyre and Cate's point of view. The book is so amazingly written, that you will feel the hatred, fear, worry - Everything the character goes through

Captivating psychological thriller! A must read book for all readers :)
