No One Saw a Thing by Andrea Mara
4.5
Andrea Mara is an auto-buy author for me. I've read all her previous books and loved them, so when I found out that No One Saw A Thing was available to request on Netgalley of course I jumped at the opportunity to read it.
Sive and her three children are standing on a crowded tube platform waiting to board. Her two eldest daughters jump on the train but as she tries to wangle the buggy with he youngest, the doors close and the trains takes off. Sive rushes to the next stop telling herself that things will be okay but when she reaches the next platform, only one of her daughters is there.
A fast paced psychological thriller that had me on the edge of my seat. Unnerving and unsettling to read as a parent but utterly unputdownable - I was gripped from the very start. One of the things I love about Andrea's stories is that there's an authenticity and realness about the scenarios her characters find themselves in (this one in particular was based on a real life event that happened to her and her sister when they were children). She plays on a parents biggest fear and turns it into a tense and compelling read with plenty of twists and turns that make it impossible to put down. I won't say anything about the plot as I don't want to give a thing away but I think this is up there as one of my favourites from Andrea to date!
Unfortunately No One Saw A Thing isn't published until May 11th 2023 (I've my physical copy on preorder!), but I promise it's worth the wait!
Huge thanks to @penguinukbooks @penguinbooksireland @andreamaraauthor and @netgalley for this advanced copy. As always this is an honest review.
