The Invisible Girl

Lisa Jewell is one of the most well-known authors in the United Kingdom. Her works are acclaimed bestsellers that naturally blend the best qualities of romantic, psychological, and urban prose—written with the subtle humor typical of the English and with the ability to twist the plot as brilliantly as Agatha Christie. … The Fors family, outwardly prosperous, has problems in their relationships. Kate suspects Roan of affairs, and although there’s a lull between them right now, resentment and suspicion still linger in their home. Young Safi is uniquely aware of Roan’s family troubles: she spent more than one year under his supervision, attending his psychotherapy sessions. And she doesn’t like the fact that they have ended. Under the cover of night, sneaking out of her uncle’s house, Safi—hidden from sight—watches Roan, just to be a little closer to him.

Across the street from the Fors family lives Owen Pike. His life is falling apart: nothing works for him, neither at work nor in his personal life. He sinks deeper and deeper into the dark depths of the internet, where people urge him to take revenge on society’s wrongs—and most of all on women. Then, one day, Safi disappears. Suspicion has plenty of targets—so are things really that simple?
