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 -- John Grisham
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
Timely, important, layered with ticking suspense -- Lee Child

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.

There's no such thing as a book you can't put down, but this one was close -- Stephen King
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.
