6.24.2026 - It Could Have Been Her

It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by a favorite, Lisa Jewell.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Jane is feeling unsettled.  Her house is falling apart and she feels that she doesn't have a purpose.  While out on a walk, she finds a small white dog and tracks down the owner.  When she goes to deliver the dog to its owner, she realizes that they live in a house that's haunted her nightmares for decades.  And something just doesn't feel right.  Along with her stepson, Jane begins investigating.

You know it's going to be a good day when you have a new Lisa Jewell book to read!  This one veered toward her darker side with family dysfunction in spades, and I loved it.  I especially liked Jane's character - a smart, older woman who is tired of sitting on the sidelines and wants to make a difference.  You do have to pay attention because there are multiple POV and timelines, but it's definitely worth it!  It's creepy, haunting, atmospheric and just so good.
