Description

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND NATIONAL BESTSELLER.
"There’s no such thing as a book you can’t put down, but this one was close." —Stephen King
"Smart suspense at its very best."
John Grisham

Tautly wound and expertly crafted, Two Nights in Lisbon is a riveting thriller about a woman under pressure, and how far she will go when everything is on the line.


You think you know a person . . .

Ariel Pryce wakes up in Lisbon, alone. Her husband is gone—no warning, no note, not answering his phone. Something is wrong.

She starts with hotel security, then the police, then the American embassy, at each confronting questions she can’t fully answer: What exactly is John doing in Lisbon? Why would he drag her along on his business trip? Who would want to harm him? And why does Ariel know so little about her new—much younger—husband?

The clock is ticking. Ariel is increasingly frustrated and desperate, running out of time, and the one person in the world who can help is the one person she least wants to ask.

With sparkling prose and razor-sharp insights, bestselling author Chris Pavone delivers a stunning and sophisticated international thriller that will linger long after the surprising final page.

    Slow burn, which is my favorite type of read. Once it picks up the pace, it doesn’t let up. Two Nights in Lisbon is my first Chris Pavone book, & what an introduction. So good.

    Like any great mystery should, it keeps you guessing and entertained. Plenty of surprises and well written.
  • A fun ride, a serious topic

    Chris Pavone unreels a labyrinth plot bit by bit at a frenetic pace, but never too fast to paint the details of his characters. From New York to the Hamptons to Lisbon to a small town farm and bookshop, socialite and divorcee Ariel Pryce lives many lives that come together when her new husband John is kidnapped in Lisbon. But Ariel has a secret. And the lifelong burden sexual abuse places on women is the centerpiece of this story.
  • Thank god the setting was good.

    At last, a story about how miserably hard it is to be a beautiful woman. Otherwise, a dull story supported by a cast of 2D stereotypes, that’s partially redeemed by a detailed depiction of Lisbon.

    A dishonest “thriller” that is not worth your time. Dishonest in the sense that key information is withheld, but not by trickery or sleight of hand but just lying about what is happening.
  • Not great

    Author went ack and forth so much in the background of the heroine it was a bit difficult to follow.
  • What is happening with Chris Pavone?

    I have bought, read and enjoyed all four of Chris’ prior novella. This book is so different and disappointing- his main character is the subject of multiple sexual abuses and he lectures readers about (partial list) toxic masculinity, the power of elites in the US, climate change, bureaucratic incompetence, sexism, ageism and abuse of technology! The whole tone is so negative and different from his prior books. I am (reluctantly) going to pass on Chris’ future offerings.

    I did not know what to expect from Chris Pavone. Immediately I was drawn into the plot. This books holds your attention until the very end. One of the better books I have read this year.

    I picked this book because “it’s a page turner”. And now I am struggling through 100 pages and have decided not to torture myself. I will be donating this book to our building library hoping someone else might find it more interesting. Have it three stars (instead of two) thinking that maybe it gets better.
