Full of drama, intrigue with so many twists and turns, I promise you'll be surprised and captivated right to the end' Carmel Harrington 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.

With family drama at its heart, Susan Lewis’ No One Saw It Coming is a snappy, compelling crime novel for readers who relish being swept up in the complex, tangled lives of others. Driven by intrigue around an upper-middle-class couple and their circle of friends, an undercurrent of unease pervades the story, with escalating menace seeping through their day-to-day lives of dinner parties, lunches, and doing charitable work.

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)

He was, at heart, a despicable man and yet I have little difficulty imagining how terrible his loss must be for Hanna. I wish I could comfort her, but there is nothing I can do. I did guess who committed the crime, but in a million years wouldn’t have guessed the why, that was very convoluted. MY THOUGHTS: I am conflicted by my feelings about No One Saw It Coming. 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. But it does serve as a cautionary tale . . . The family is wealthy, but philanthropic. They are also complicated. A few of the complications I could have done without. 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!😅

At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation. I wonder if Hanna knows his big secret yet, the one that Cait told Riona. Yes, Riona does confide in me from time to time, and she was so upset about this that it all came tumbling out. 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! Rich, seamless and masterful storytelling with so many ‘oh my god’ twisty moments… Absolute genius.

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.
