Review :
I defy anyone to read the first twenty pages of this breakneck novel, then try to put it down for five minutes. This is smart suspense at its very best 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! Timely, important, layered with ticking suspense Aside from the elegant writing and compelling characters, Two Nights in Lisbon manages to be a total barn burner, with twisty surprises from start to finish. I couldn't predict a thing, nor could I put it down Two Nights in Lisbon is his best yet. This one is not to be missed 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 Brimming over with surprise, nuance, cunning An elegantly twisting, lyrical, rocket-paced international thriller of the first order Intelligent, utterly compelling, enough twists to make you giddy and deeply satisfying. I loved it Pavone has become one of the most skilled creators of menace and suspense in the world This is sophisticated, of-the-moment suspense of the highest order There's no such thing as a book you can't put down, but this one was close The novel keeps the revelations coming, and has a strong supporting cast as well as smart dialogue; but what makes it exceptional is Pavone's stirring portrayal of a woman who must call on extraordinary resourcefulness in a world where men can use violence against her and get away with it. I won't read a better thriller this year A tense, twisty thriller, packed with lots of untrustworthy characters and cunning shifts of emphasis Sharp and biting Intriguing, wrong-footing thriller... The well-judged pace of the writing holds the attention and skates over improbabilities all the way to the final twist Beautifully engineered as a carriage clock, it yields its nuanced secrets with insidious cunning The plot of this outstanding literary thriller unfolds deftly, underpinned by a stirring and gripping story Complex, clever and intricately plotted you will not be able to put this book down. A real thriller Multi-layered, with strong characters and clever plots – all the essential elements for an engaging read An edgy and surprising read, wrong-footing the reader at every end and turn as the pages zip by. There are thrills and spills, surprises and shocks, all set against a gloriously rendered backdrop... His best novel yet Thriller writer Chris Pavone is an experienced author when it comes to penning page-turning mysteries and Two Nights in Lisbon is no exception, combining setting and suspense to compulsive effect Briskly paced and very tense
