A Jewell amongst writers, who deserves to be recognised as such
Lisa Jewell's latest novel, 'Invisible Girl’ is to my mind her best since the excellent ‘Then She Was Gone’, which in recent weeks hit the number one spot in the NY Times bestsellers list. Whilst some might define it as a psychological thriller, I'd say it's a cross between that and a family drama, much in the vein of her novels of the last five years. The story is told from three points of view; that of Cate, a mum of two whose husband, Roan, we suspect as dodgy in some way almost from the off, Saffyre, a bright but lonely teen with a history of self-harm, whose disappearance drives the narrative, and Owen, a teacher who finds himself suspended from his job when he is accused by two pupils of inappropriate behaviour.
As with all her novels, the storytelling in 'Invisible Girl' is so fluid and her characters so credible that Lisa Jewell almost does herself a disservice. Right from the off with her debut, ‘Ralph’s Party’, over twenty years ago, her gift for narrative makes reading or listening to her work effortless, rather like being a passenger in a vehicle where the driver manages to minimise the impact of potholes, break gently to avoid a child who suddenly runs into the street and never takes a wrong turn or ends up in a jam. But don’t be fooled. Her books are more cannily crafted than they seem.
The strand of the plot which revolves around the hunt for the missing Saffyre, for instance, eerily echoes the Joanna Yeates’ case of a decade ago, where the police in Bristol initially suspected and arrested Christopher Jefferies, Yeates's landlord, who lived in a flat in the same building. He was subsequently released without charge, but was vilified in the press. Yet whilst other, lesser novelists might underline these parallels for us, the readers and listeners, to make sure we get the point, Lisa Jewell never mentions that case. It just lurked in the back of my mind as I listened, adding to my empathy for Owen, who unwitting digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole during the investigation. That he does so because he is naive and socially clumsy and lacks supportive friends and family is utterly credible, and gets us gunning for an underdog that many authors would choose to make a villain.
Similarly, the domestic setting in which she places her characters might seem unadventurous, for she rarely ventures beyond the same few square miles of North London, book after book. But again, don’t be fooled; with each novel she tackles a different aspect of urban life, and her novels pack more of a political punch than it might seem. This one perhaps more overtly so than any prior. Unlike Margaret Atwood, say, who drives home her feminist message with a mallet in 'The Testaments', her widely lauded follow-up to 'The Handmaid’s Tale', Jewell’s observations about social injustice aren’t set in a dramatic dystopian future, but in the far more prosaic streets of present-day Kilburn and Hampstead. She explores class, gender and racial prejudice through rich characterisation and dialogue - just as Mike Gayle did in his 2019 novel, 'Half A World Away’. And whilst both authors might be labelled writers of ‘popular fiction’ - a term that often whiffs of intellectual snobbery - I’m not sure why anyone feels the need to be sniffy, when both sit comfortably alongside David Nicholls, who was nominated for the Booker, after all.
In short, if this is the first Lisa Jewell you've listened to, you're in for a treat. And if she is already a firm favourite, it will not disappoint. It's excellently narrated on Audible, and is thus highly recommended.

Not the best story
I was quite disappointed in this storyline. I’ve read a few of her other books and loved them, but I found this one very uneventful, predictable and slow. I was quite glad to finish it after hoping for a big exciting twist near the end but then disappointingly everything just tied up nicely instead. The characters didn’t capture my imagination and I found the narration a bit dull, I just didn’t connect with the book at all.

Brilliant Read
The best book I have listened to in ages, ( and I listen to a lot!) The characters are so well developed that you can really feel and understand them and on top the that the narrators were all brilliant, each one really enhanced all their characters and were all so believable. The story is very cleverly written and keeps you guessing and intrigued throughout, I literally could not stop listening and wondering what was going to happen. Hoping my next read is as good as this, it will take some beating!

Good book, but prefer some of her others
The characters in this book are very detailed, you feel like you know them very well. Good storyline. Mid point, I felt it dragged a little, but I still wanted to stay with it. I enjoyed the narration.
I'm sure the book would have been just as good without the F word regularly dropped in to it. Not sure it added anything.
I still prefer the family upstairs, I found you and Vince and Joy. Overall this is an enjoyable book.

Not my favourite Jewell
Felt a little disjointed and rambling at times. Somewhat dissapointing conclusion.
One of the narrators had an irritating voice. Took me a long long time to drudge through this book and pretty happy to be finished it to be honest.
