I am a massive fan of this author, I think this is my favourite book so far.
A fantastic bunch of characters, although I wasn’t invested in them individually, I really enjoyed the relationships between them and how they treated or reacted to each other. Certainly an eye opener into open Marriages 😂😂.
A must read by fans of the author..

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.
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)
One of the disclosures didn’t endear me to 2 of the characters, and didn’t seem to fit the rest of the their character traits, although with wealth it seems extreme behaviours are more commonplace.
There is a crime, but it’s more of a dark domestic suspense than a crime thriller. It’s very character driven. All of the characters are well fleshed, all very complex, Seb seemed the most straightforward and uncomplicated and the most likeable and dependable. I didn’t really like the rest of the characters but it didn’t stop me being engaged with the story. I don’t think characters always need to be loveable.
I did guess who committed the crime, but in a million years wouldn’t have guessed the why, that was very convoluted.
At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation.
It kept me very entertained and I whizzed through it so it gets a good rating, but would I recommend it? Yes if you enjoy a convoluted complex story that’s a bit different. Not so much so if you are looking for a straightforward crime thriller.

No One Saw it Coming is a good, solid read, although I’m afraid to say I did see it coming right from the very beginning.
The book is well-written and well-plotted I just thought the main twist was really obvious and very similar to other books I’ve read recently.
The characterisation is excellent, although none of the characters are particularly likeable and I didn’t connect or warm to any of them.
Overall, No One Saw it Coming is a decent, entertaining read. Looking forward to reading more from Susan Lewis in the future.
Many thanks to the publisher for my copy, in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Hanna is a mother of two with a supportive husband and loving friends. However, the family dynamic isn’t the most straightforward and there are lots of secrets being withheld. 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.
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!😅
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.
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!
3⭐️ from me!
Thank you to Harper Collins for sending me a copy of this book!
Hanna’s world is full of fine wine, business dinners and ofc her gorgeous doting husband Jack. But Hanna’s world will soon fall apart when secrets are uncovered and crimes are committed. But who is threatening the life she has built for herself? She must find out who it is before it’s too late.
Ngl I figured out the plot of the novel about 3 quarters in, it reminded me of a movie that I enjoyed but i can’t say which one or I’d spoil the whole book. It definitely had me on my toes until I figured it out though so I’d definitely recommend this one!

Another great book by Susan Lewis. I found this to be fast paced with short sharp chapters which always led me to read just one more. The storyline was good and it had an ending I didn’t see coming. (Hence the title of the book)?
