“Readers of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware will love.” —Library Journal (starred review) “Jewell’s novel explores the space between going missing and being lost….how the plots intersect and finally collide is one of the great thrills of reading Jewell’s book. She ratchets up the tension masterfully, and her writing is lively.” —The New York Times In the windswept British seaside … Times
In the windswept British seaside town of Ridinghouse Bay, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on a beach outside her house. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside.
Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, newlywed Lily Monrose grows anxious when her husband fails to return home from work one night. Soon, she receives even worse news: according to the police, the man she married never even existed.
Twenty-three years earlier, Gray and Kirsty Ross are teenagers on a summer holiday with their parents. The annual trip to Ridinghouse Bay is uneventful, until an enigmatic young man starts paying extra attention to Kirsty. Something about him makes Gray uncomfortable—and it’s not just because he’s a protective older brother.
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?
“A mystery with substance” (Kirkus Reviews), I Found You is a delicious collision course of a novel, filled with the believable characters, stunning writing, and “surprising revelations all the way up to the ending” (Booklist) that make the New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone Lisa Jewell so beloved by audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

. Good twist .. engrossing
I really connected with the characters. The plot seemed set, but I was wrong.
Believable characters in a surreal situation with a H.E.A.
Could not put this down. Interesting characters and suspenseful
Interesting and a twist at the end
Great book. Keeps you guessing. A real page turner. Unique story.
Started slowly but plot development ultimately was interesting. Most of the characters had complexity to them. Not the most riveting book I have ever read but worth the read.
Just finished this today, couldnt wait to see how it ended! A really good read!!
I had a hard time putting it down. At $1.99. It was a great read for a great value
Gives the reader an opportunity to try and figure the mystery out. Interesting characters.
I thought it was excellent!
I Found You may have been my first Lisa Jewell novel but it will not be my last! This borderline mystery/thriller had a plot introduction that engaged me immediately, and although it falls in the thriller genre, the pace remained slow and steady even when the mystery outcome was revealed. I found the characters to be well-developed and their stressors kept me invested and I very much wanted to know how this mystery would end. There were moments and relationships among the characters I didn’t care for but overall, a great read that introduced me to a new-to-me author I will be following. Check it out!
