Incredibly slow-moving and rife with oddball characters, I Found You explores what can happen when rash decisions are made in the name of love. Lisa Jewell’s strength definitely lies in her ability to deliver character-driven novels. This story, along with the few others of hers I’ve read, rely heavily on the development of her characters and in turn, as a reader, my enjoyment hinges almost solely on whether I connect with them and find their actions believable in some capacity. I have to admit

"underwhelmed." Yeah, that feels right.But I think I'm going to also add the word, "surprisingly," in front of it.I'm surprisingly underwhelmed.

"From the end of the bay came another plaintive call of a peacock". NO SPOLIERS in this review ....a few plot set-ups....THAT's ALL!Lisa Jewel has total command of her material interlacing three vivid sets of stories --that holds our attention--building suspense--to the very last page. Alice Lake is a single mom. She moved her clan ....Romaine, Kai, Jasmine ( her 3 children each who have a different birth father) .....and her three dogs ( Hero, Sadie, and Grif), to Ridinghouse Bay. Alice sees a

She soon comes to find out he's in a fugue state with no memory of his identity and commits herself to helping him out. Meanwhile in London, Lily who has only been married for a few weeks begins to worry when her husband doesn't come home from work, especially in light of his inten...

I totally loved this book. It's only been in the last two years that I have been reading Lisa Jewell's novels and I am quite the fan. What I love about this book, like many of her others is that you can just relax into the story, enjoy the writing, get to know the characters and the book becomes your friend. For me this was one of those "go-to" books when you just want something solid that you know will entertain and give you true escapism from everyday life. A great holiday read too.'How long h...

I Found You by Lisa Jewel is a 2017 Atria Books publication. Tantalizing, Compelling, and very suspenseful.Three seemingly unrelated people see their lives converge in the most horrific an unimaginable way. Alice is a harried single mom in her forties trying to keep her head on straight after committing a few horrendous parenting mistakes. When she sees a man out on the cold, damp, windy beach, she feels sorry for him and brings him an old coat to wear. In the process, she discovers the man has

A mystery of twenty years. Three lives that will become entwined, two in a horrible way, one may be the start of a new beginning. Some very fine writing here. Can one recognize the face of Evil? This outstanding and suspenseful novel uses some amazing sleights of hand to keep the reader totally engrossed. A few graphic scenes, none too gory, but it is the descriptions, the atmosphere Jewell creates that gave me the shivers. The kind where you find yourself holding your breath, butterflies in my

EXCERPT: He is still there. The man on the beach. He’s been there all day, since she opened her curtains at seven o’clock this morning: sitting on the damp sand, his arms around his knees, staring and staring out to sea. She’s kept an eye on him, concerned that he might be about to top himself. That had happened once before. A young man, deathly pale in the blue-white moonlight, had left his coat on the beach and just disappeared. Alice is still haunted by the thought of him, three years later.

A man is found on the beach, in the rain. He has no memory of who he is and where he's come from.A woman has lost her husband. He never shows up after work and she reports him missing.Two young kids summer vacationing meet up with a posh kid who introduces them to liquor and drugs.Three stories entwined from the past to the present. Twisted lies, deceit.I'm fussing with this rating - but am comfortable at a 3.5⭐️I like Jewell's style of writing - but not sure if I can honestly say any memorable

Kept waiting, hoping for this story to pick up the pace. Didn’t want to abandon it, but in the end, not sure it was the best decision.

For fast paced suspense, well developed characters, and a great story, it just doesn’t get any better than this!Twenty two years ago, a family is on holiday in a cottage near the sea in northern England. The son and daughter fall under the influence of a 19 year old who is shallow but charming, manipulative and bad-tempered. The entire family becomes embroiled in a bad situation that turns tragic.Twenty two years later, an artist named Alice finds a man occupying the beach outside her home for h...
