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!

Thoroughly enjoyed this gripping, twisting read from start to finish. This is the first one Andrea Mara’s books I have read and so I will be ordering more of hers to read over the Summer.

I was hooked from the beginning. It’s not a spoiler to say the story centres around a mother losing her child in the chaos of the London Underground. It’s every parent’s nightmare, and this part of the story is written well. If I’d rated the book after the first few chapters, it would have been a 4 or 5 stars. But as it went on, it started to feel a bit far-fetched. It felt like the author had a brilliant opening but wasn’t quite sure where to take it, so the plot got a bit tangled and relied on twists that didn’t really need to be there. And the ending was disappointing. It's still an okay holiday read, as it's an easy read, and a bit of a page turner (particularly at the start). And if you like twists and turns, ir might be your thing. There were just too many twists and turns for my liking.

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!

Great suspense, some times the story goes back and forth in time, but this tells the history of the friends' lives. Good read

This is my first Andrea Mara read, and it did not disappoint. It is a wonderful and pacey crime thriller that opens with a bang! It flicks back and forth through a collection of well-developed characters. I was suspicious of everyone and really had no idea where it would go. Nearly every chapter ends with a hook which resulted in late dinners, incomplete housework and perhaps a few sneaky pages between work calls. You have been warned!

A riveting read, hard to put down and hard to unravel the actual plot; good writing and construct. Would recommend.
