Review “There’s no such thing as a book you can’t put down, but this one was close.” Stephen King“I absolutely loved Chris Pavone’s Two Nights in Lisbon, an unputdownable thriller that’s his best novel yet. It stars a strong and savvy heroine who wakes up one morning to find her husband missing, and the action never lets up. This is a masterly, sleek, and sophisticated novel about love, marriage, and truth. Read it!” Lisa Scottoline, author of Eternal“I defy anyone to read the first twenty pages of this breakneck novel, then try to put it down for five minutes. It can’t be done. The plot is too devious, the pace is too gripping, and the characters are seldom who they are supposed to be. This is smart suspense at its very best.” John Grisham, author of A Time for Mercy“I always relish Chris Pavone’s books, and this just might be my favorite yet, full of the canny asides and observations that set his work apart. The plot grips, the characters breathe, the gorgeous setting entices. Treat yourself!” Maggie Shipstead, author of Great Circle“Two Nights in Lisbon is sensationally good timely, important, layered with ticking suspense, driven by an ominous drumbeat that accelerates like a panicked heart. My thriller of the year so far.” Lee Child, author of The Sentinel“Chris Pavone’s pacey, well-plotted thrillers are riveting and great fun to read, and Two Nights in Lisbon is his best yet. This one is not to be missed.” Karin Slaughter, author of The Silent Wife“Weaving together hairpin Hitchcockian suspense and true moral heft, Chris Pavone’s Two Nights in Lisbon is his best yet utterly timely and brimming over with surprise, nuance, cunning, and a palpable weight.” Megan Abbott, author of The Turnout“Two Nights in Lisbon is such a richly satisfying novel in so many different ways: it is a tense, intricately plotted thriller; a nuanced and moving character study; a sharp-eyed social critique; an immersive tour of a fascinating city and culture. I finished this book and immediately wanted to read it again.” Lou Berney, author of November Road“An elegantly twisting, lyrical, rocket-paced international thriller of the first order. With sterling prose, layered characte
