About this deal

After the reasoning behind Hanna and Jack's daughter, Cait, being a bratty adult child is revealed I liked her progression into a more mature adult. There is a good representation and discussion surrounding a mental health diagnosis within this book which I found to be written about in a very informative way. Maybe the slow start as the reader is introduced to the seemingly idyllic Hanna who's wealthy job and loving marriage seems perfect from the outset.

Don't miss this utterly gripping and emotional thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Susan Lewis! Initially I wondered where it was all going in terms of the storyline but once the first significant event happens, it was like a rollercoaster after that and a very enjoyable one. The big twist, the big reveal I felt was obvious from very early in the story, partly cuz I've read that plot twist in several other books and partly cuz the "clues" were very obvious from the get-to.I like the fact that some of the characters - notably Andee (and Jay) - recur from previous novels - it makes the network of connections feel authentic. When a life changing murder occurs, Hannah must work out who is causing her and her family so much hurt and threatening her family, before more damage is done. The first half was slightly slow but I liked getting to know the characters and their dynamics - even though I didn’t find any of the characters super likeable! EXCERPT: I am staring at the TV where I've frozen the screen on a shot of Hanna and Jack in happier times.

At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation. The first half of the book is pretty straightforward, and again, I felt like it read like a book for younger audiences. It centers on Hanna, who seemingly has it all, but it turns out there are some cracks in her perfect life.

You also get occasional chapters from Blanche, who is initially not connected to the story until the author ties everything together. The ending was mostly satisfying to me, though I didn’t think the mini twist on the last page was necessary. I really didn't get involved in the storyline until the second half, and then I really did become involved. There's a thread in the first half that I really didn't enjoy and I believe that a different vehicle could have been used to facilitate the storyline. I don't mean that in a negative way :)) I thought it wrapped up to a satisfying conclusion and would definitely read more by this talented storyteller.

It was only in the last 15% of the book that my interest was peaked and I was engaged with what was happening to the characters and that I felt the pace picked up. Yes, Riona does confide in me from time to time, and she was so upset about this that it all came tumbling out. But I persevered and it did have a good end and as the name of the says “No One Saw it Coming” , they sure didn’t.To access your ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose.

The mounting sense of a twist did keep me reading, but found this to be lacking in this author's normal high standards. DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Harper Collins UK, Harper Fiction, via Netgalley for providing a digital ARC of No One Saw It Coming by Susan Lewis for review. A surprisingly different read from Susan lewis, that draws you in from the start and keeps you enthralled with twists and turns and a very unexpected ending that I totally didn’t expect! Jack I liked from the start - with reservations - and I never had any doubts about Seb, Andee or Graeme.I was really looking forward to reading this book as it has been a while since I’ve read any of her books.

I felt like I was watching the weekly episodes of a 70s soap opera, and I pictured them hitting their marks and swanning off to the next scene. A well thought out and intruiging plot with several twists - I did however guess the main plot twist, but will give nothing away by saying anything further! The characterisation is excellent, although none of the characters are particularly likeable, and I didn’t connect or warm to any of them.
