Invisible Girl: A Novel | Lisa Jewell
The author of the rich, dark, and intricately twisted (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) The Family Upstairs returns with another taut and white-knuckled thriller following a group of people whose lives shockingly intersect when a young woman disappears. Owen Picks life is falling apart. In his thirties, a virgin, and living in his aunts spare bedroom, he has just been suspended from his job as a geography teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct, which he strongly denies. Searching for professional advice online, he is inadvertently sucked into the dark world of incelinvoluntary celibateforums, where he meets the charismatic, mysterious, and sinister Bryn. Across the street from Owen lives the Fours family, headed by mom Cate, a physiotherapist, and dad Roan, a child psychologist. But the Fours family have a bad feeling about their neighbor Owen. Hes a bit creepy and their teenaged daughter swears he followed her home from the train station one night. Meanwhile, young Saffyre Maddox spent three years as a patient of Roan Fours. Feeling abandoned when their therapy ends, she searches for other ways to maintain her connection with him, following him in the shadows and learning more than she wanted to know about Roan and his family. Then, on Valentines night, Saffyre Maddox disappearsand the last person to see her alive is Owen Pick. With evocative, vivid, and unputdownable prose and plenty of disturbing twists and turns, Jewells latest thriller is another haunting, atmospheric, stay-up-way-too-late read (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author).

Nope. 1/4 of the way in and I just can't. Incels plotting to date rape women, because they can't get laid on their own and women owe them. Not sure if this is a throw away scene or part of the overall plot. But it's not what I'm looking for in my thriller/ general fiction reads.

CaramelLunacy Ugh. Not what I need in my fiction either. I would have bailed, too 5mo

I have never given this author a 5 star. A couple of books have gotten close, but I just don't get there. I always find something a bit predictable and mundane about her books. The villain in this book was just so obviously supposed to be the villain that it obviously couldn't be, then there would be no twist. I didn't get the whole twist right, but I got enough that it wasn't surprising. It is a page turner. 4/5

Absolutely great read! Layered and well-paced, with twists and taunts to keep you reading. Totally believable and had me gripped from the start.

This was a decent mystery. Honestly since “Then She Was Gone” I haven‘t read a 5 star from her. I keep reading her books hoping to get what I loved from that one, but coming up short. Anyway, I wasn‘t a huge fan of the ending and Owen‘s storyline is just a little too neatly wrapped up.

TW: sexual assaults, violence against women.
Creepy and twisted. I liked it despite the triggering subject matter.

Owen has allegations brought against him and then there are attacks that start happening in his neighborhood. Saffyre is just trying to get through her teen years. Mix in family trusts, neighbors who just see and make up what they think is true, throw in a now missing girl and the real story comes out. Someone who has read this…was the Fox needed?🥴🤫

A gritty, dark psychological thriller that had me trying to work out what the truth was from the first chapter. Told from several points of view with some unreliable narrators and people hiding some dark secrets. Another great twisty read from Lisa Jewell.⭐⭐⭐⭐ #invisiblegirl #lisajewell #goodreads #litsy #thestorygraph #amazonkindle #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookqueen #bookstagram #thriller

Mysterious, dark, provocative story. There was so much going on: deceptions and mistrust, scandal and heartbreak, secrets and revenge, twists and turns. Captivating book with creepy last little final twist!
Now I need to read something fluffy 🙂

Not my favorite of Lisa Jewell's books but it's the first book I've managed to finish in weeks so I'd say it was pretty good! Unexpected but interesting plot points, with an equally unexpected conclusion, and the mystery held my attention. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good one. First time reading (listening actually) to Lisa Jewell. Looking forward to some others of hers. Like the story, was so happy when they got the bad guy!

Just listened to this one on a 600 mile car trip. Made the driving great. Sapphire is a teenage girl who has lost family members and was molested as a young girl. She becomes obsessed with her therapist when he proclaims that she‘s ok now. Women are getting attacked. Everyone has secrets and are motivated to act. 30 something Owen is a lonely guy in the area that seems suspicious

I listened to this suspenseful mystery. A teenaged-girl disappears from a London neighborhood late one night. A lot of residents are shady, potential suspects. The end was surprising but felt reminscient of a cop-out. The unraveling was enjoyable. 3.5 stars

Saffyre Maddox is a teenager who‘s gone missing, and we quickly are shown a couple of suspects. Saffyre meets fellow teen, Josh, whose father used to actually treat her, and oddly enough, they live across the street from the creepy Owen Pick, a teacher who has just been suspended from his job because of sexual assault accusations.

But who else is in Saffyre‘s life, past or present?

It was just such a dynamic character study which I def loved.

This is a psychological thriller with a slow build-up and several twists along the way. It really kept me guessing! I haven‘t read a lot of Jewell‘s work, but I‘ll look for more of her books in the future. #Kindle

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this book from the beginning to the end. Saffyre Maddox disappears and we hear stories from each of the main characters as the police search for the missing girl. It kept me guessing as to what happened to her. I liked the way the book ended as well.

I wasn‘t sure about this when it started. But Jewell is so good at writing these super engrossing and twisty thrillers. I liked it better than her last couple.

Lisa Jewell is one of those authors that I always check out their new one. I find she‘s up and down and the last couple weren‘t hits for me so I‘m hoping this is a cracker.
