Explore Unexpected Twists and Turns with Bestselling Author Lisa Jewell

originally published: 05/12/2025


(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- You are invited to an exclusive virtual author talk with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Jewell will introduce her forthcoming title Don't Let Him In and chat about her life as a writer and her critically acclaimed body of work. The event begins at 2:00pm.

Don’t Let Him In’s Nick Radcliffe is just what Nina Swann needed most in her life after her husband’s unexpected death. But, to Nina’s adult daughter, Ash, Nick seems too good to be true. Without telling her mother, Ash digs into Nick’s past and what she finds is more than unsettling. Martha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband Alistair. Alistair has been traveling more frequently for work, and Martha can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right. Nina, Martha, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined.

Don’t Let Him In will be released June 24.

Registration is required for this free, virtual event. To register, please visit tinyurl.com/JewellOCL or call your local Ocean County Library branch. 

Ocean County Library cardholders can place a request to borrow Don’t Let Him In through their catalog.
