Reading a Lisa Jewell book often feels like watching a magic trick unfold, and Jewell’s masterful sleight of hand never fails to thrill and surprise. Who is the man on the beach? Where is Lily’s missing husband? And what ever happened to the man who made such a lasting and disturbing impression on Gray? Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable-and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed. Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. (Though, let’s be honest, any book by Lisa Jewell is pretty much guaranteed to be a must-read for fans of psychological suspense.) A cast of compelling characters and years’ worth of long-buried secrets just waiting to be uncovered make I FOUND YOU one of my new favorite Lisa Jewell reads. Centering around a quiet seaside town in England, where a woman has just found a man on the beach who has no idea who he is or how he got there, I FOUND YOU tells a hypnotic and atmospheric tale that will keep you glued to the pages from first to last. In I FOUND YOU, Lisa Jewell weaves an irresistible and immersive story of a group of seemingly unrelated individuals whose lives intersect in tragic and destructive ways. If ever there were books built for vacation reading, Jewell’s thrillers are it. One of my personal 2021 reading goals is to read my way through Jewell’s backlist suspense novels, and last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of devouring her 2018 thriller I FOUND YOU while on my first real vacation in over a year. No one writes page-turners quite like Lisa Jewell. The Verdict: an immersive, intricate suspense novel
