Hang with Heather

A time for grief but crook preys on poor widow

- 

LISA Jewell's Don't Let Him In is a smart, sinister domestic thriller that sinks its claws in early and doesn't let go.

It centres on three women - Nina, Ash, and Martha - whose lives are drawn, sometimes willingly, sometimes helplessly, into the orbit of one man: Nick Radcliffe.

Jewell plays to her strengths here - tight plotting, unsettling character work, and a slow drip of dread that builds chapter by chapter.
