What happens when the man who seems perfect in every way slowly begins to unravel your life from the inside?

Lisa Jewell, the queen of the psychological thriller, returns with Don’t Let Him In, an addictive, chilling tale of love, manipulating, and the danger of welcoming the wrong person into your home – and your heart. We are beyond thrilled to welcome Lisa to Penarth this January to celebrate the paperback release of her latest pulse-pounding bestseller.

He appears attentive. Devoted. Almost too good to be true. Before long, he’s living in your house, sharing your bed, and entwining himself into every corner of your world. And then he starts disappearing for days at a time. No explanations. No answers. No remorse. Only later do you realise what you would have told yourself from the very beginning.

Jewell delivers a masterclass in suspense, weaving a story that is both deeply unsettling and impossible to put down. With her trademark precision, she exposes the dark charm of a man who knows exactly how to make himself indispensable, and how to destroy you when you no longer are.

We’re expecting this to be super popular, book tickets early to avoid disappointment.
