Christine Poulson's protagonist Lisa is in need of an escape from the demands of caring on her own for a son with cerebral palsy and she has found this escape in a lover whose name is Jay. She meets him once a month and loses herself in a realm without responsibility until one day when Jamie does not appear, and Lisa discovers that the relationship is built on a lie. This is splendidly written fare from the reliable Poulson, written with keen psychological insight. -- Barry Forshaw * Crimetime.co.uk * Invisible is a great thriller. I can't say too much more about the plot because the twists & turns are the whole point of reading a book that wrong foots the reader at every turn. I really needed to concentrate, especially in the beginning as many characters are introduced & their relevance only becomes clear as events unfold. In the end, I just put aside an afternoon to finish it because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Invisible is more than a conventional thriller though, because we have the domestic, ordinary story of Lisa & Ricky alongside the story of Jay. As a fan of Spooks (I never missed an episode), I also loved the way Jay carried out his plans & Lisa's trip to the British Library - I can't say any more! Christine Poulson kept me reading by giving out just enough information to intrigue & puzzle so that I had to read just one more chapter. That's why, in the end, I just dropped everything else & read the last half of Invisible in one sitting. -- I Prefer Reading blog * http://preferreading.blogspot.I Prefer Reading blog com.au/2014/05/invisible-christine-poulson.html * This is a proper nerve-tingler of a suspense novel, which in less than 300 pages does what many bloated thrillers fail to achieve in 500. -- Mat Coward * The Morning Star *
