No One Saw It Coming: The gripping thought-provoking emotional family drama from Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

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. This book was really well written and I was definitely gripped by the story. 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!😅 I really didn't get involved in the storyline until the second half, and then I really did become involved. It took me three days to read the first half, but I read the second half in one sitting. An unimaginable crime has been committed, and everyone’s looking for someone to blame. Her loved ones are under suspicion. The one thing I would say about this is I found it very predictable and it wasn’t that different to other thrillers I’ve read in the past. Because of the similarities, I don’t think it’s 100% memorable, but I definitely did enjoy it!

My first book by this author. I had the audiobook read by Helen Stern, a great range of distinct voices for the array of characters. The majority of the story revolves around Hanna, with occasional interspersions from an unknown character who seems to know an awful lot about Hanna and her family. Rich, seamless and masterful storytelling with so many 'oh my god' twisty moments... Absolute genius. I was totally gripped' Rebecca Thornton

What a complex family dynamic and so much going on with the plot. It made for a full on pacy read. There are a lot of characters, flaws, secrets, twists and a lot thrown into the mix ( almost kitchen sink level) At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation. An intriguing read that drew me in from the very beginning. It combines heartfelt family drama with a gripping plot. The characters are expertly drawn … Susan has done a brilliant job of weaving her research seamlessly into the novel” - Julie CorbinI did guess who committed the crime, but in a million years wouldn’t have guessed the why, that was very convoluted.
