About this listen

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER READ from People, USA TODAY, theSkimm, E! News, Forbes, New York Post, CrimeReads, and many more!

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell, three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller.

Hes the perfect man. Its a perfect lie.

Nina Swann is intrigued when she received a condolence card from Nick Radcliffe, an old friend of her late husband, who is looking to connect after her husband’s unexpected death. Nick is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. But to Nina’s adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too slick, too polished, too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling…

Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband, Alistair. But lately, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences, he always has a legitimate explanation, but Martha can’t share the feeling that something isn’t right.

Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don’t let him in. But the past won’t stay buried forever.©2025 Lisa Jewell (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

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

Lisa Jewell’s Best!

Wow I could not get enough of this book - it is by far my favourite Lisa Jewell book to date!

I absolutely love domestic thrillers and have watched many documentaries about men who scam women for money and worse, so I was very excited to read this book and devoured it in about two days!

Great audiobook and performances by Joanne Froggatt and Richard Armitage. I loved all of the twists and turns as Ash and Jane tracked Nick down and unwound his disturbing life.

A wild ride!

What a great book, made even better by awesome narrators (I do wish they'd all been credited because, except for Richard Armitage and Joanne Froggatt, I couldn't tell who was reading which character). Yes, this book can, indeed, be hard to follow but I think that just mirrors what the characters are experiencing - confusion, uncertainty. The shifts in time also add to this unbalanced feeling but, again, I think that is deliberate. I actually listened to the earliest chapters a second time to give me a better sense of who was who and what was going on. This is my first Lisa Jewell audiobook (I have another one waiting) and I am not disappointed at all

Great narrators

The performance of this was great between all the narrators. The story itself was engrossing, although definitely a bit of a rip off of the Tinder Swindler. I did find the epilogue satisfying, but a lot of the twists along the way I could see coming too.

I love Lisa Jewel but this is definitely one of my faves and the best audio book I’ve listened to. I couldn’t stop listening - the male lead is incredible. Highly recommend!!
