Perfect pace, loved it!
Another great book from this author. I love her dark side, and the slightly uncomfortable truths to her stories. No filling up pages with unnecessary text, every word counts in the book. I really enjoyed it.

Keeps you guessing
Good story that kept you on your toes reading. However I do wish that books wouldn't keep leaping from the present to the past and back again as it can be confusing and I think takes away something from these books. You get to a good bit and then it jumps back to the past and then you have to get back to the present again and have to remember how things were.Apart from that, it was a good story with an ending not guessed at until much further on after more information became available. Definitely worth a read!

Brilliantly done!
I read Hide and Seek by this author and loved it so when I saw everyone raving about her latest release, I had to buy it.One of the worst things as a parent is when you lose sight of your child, even if it’s just a few seconds. Those moments feel like hours. For Sive, trying to get on the tube with two young girls as well as a baby in a pram, you just know the unthinkable is going to happen and the doors of the tube close on her two girls before she can get on. Understandably she is distraught but when only one of her girls gets off at the next station, she is beside herself and it gets the readers head in a spin as to what could have happened to the other girl.Through the story we get to know Sive, her husband Aaron and Aaron’s friends from his youngers years when they were all housemates. I absolutely loved how the story twists and turns and we discover more about these characters as well as the increasing tension of who has taken Faye and if her parents will get her back. It’s set in present time with the story flicking back and forwards between the friends all meeting up in London for a few days which leads up to Faye’s disappearance.It is so cleverly done with the reader having no clue what to expect next. The chapters are relatively short which makes it impossible to put down as the author ends them in a way that you have to know what happens next. The busy setting of London raises the tension and even though the police are doing all they can, Sive, Aaron and his friends are also doing all they can to try and find her. I particularly loved Jude’s character who is a journalist who my feelings towards changed throughout and she ended up being one of my favourites. Usually we aren’t supposed to like these pushy reporters only ever out for a story but you had to give her credit for the role she plays.No One Saw A Thing is a mind blowing story that will raise your blood pressure and have your heart racing. I had to go back a couple of times to re-read parts due to unexpected twists and making sure I had read it properly as they were so shocking. It really is a roller coaster ride of a read where the twists are relentless right up until the very end. Brilliantly done!

This is a book for people with very short attention spans.
Yes, this is quite thrilling. Lots of people seem to have enjoyed it but, to me it comes across as a book that is written for people who don't have a very long attention span. None of the adult characters are given anything more than a two dimentional structure. There are also no people in this that I care if they died on the next page except, I guess the children's Mum. There are so many plot twists that, to be honest it becomes really difficult to follow what is actually going on. As I have said, it seems to be popular with a lot of people and I'm glad that they enjoyed it. But, not really for me.

Another great book by Andrea Mara
I read this after I stumbled upon one of her other titles, It Should Have Been You. I recommend both - I love her writing style.

Couldn't put it down
This book had me gripped from the start and kept me intrigued till the end. Beautifully thought out twists and turns and a deep dive into the relationship between old friends.
