Don't Let Him In by Lisa Jewell

Nick Ratcliffe is a man who is evil and cunning and uses so many different names it is a miracle he remembers to use the correct name the person knows him by.

He knows how to get women interested in him while he is only interested in their money.


He finds out a woman's husband who owned quite a few restaurants has passed.  He poses as an old friend of her husband's and sends a package to her with something he says belonged to her husband.


His charm pulls her in just as he pulls in many women.


We then meet Martha married to Al along with a few other women who have a connection to him.


Both Nick and Al always have some business trip taking them away from their families.


And what a trip they both are on.


DON’T LET HIM IN will have your mind spinning and whiplashing back and forth after each introduction of a character and a new scheme of Nick’s. 


You will not where to turn and not know how Nick pulls it all off.


Lisa Jewell has outdone herself with this one even though it takes a bit to figure who is who and and how it all fits together.


If you love to hate a character, this book is for you.  


He is despicable and has a ready lie for anyone who questions him and anything that might threaten his charade.


You won't be able to stop reading.  5/5


Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
