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

Product Information

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. It's almost a paraphrase of the title and that's because it's a very cleverly crafted plot, something I've not read the like of before.

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. No - one saw it coming, but the protest movement is a reality that now has to be dealt with - especially as this is election year in Brazil, and some will be looking to turn dissatisfaction with the World Cup into votes. The Maddens have a son, Leo and a daughter, Caitlin, and live in a seven bedroom Grade II Georgian property in the Chow Valley, near Bristol. As the secrets are revealed with family and friends on the suspect list, an interesting twist takes the story in a completely different direction.At times there were parts which felt overly dramatised but I’m not sure if that’s the writing or the narrators interpretation. Jack I liked from the start - with reservations - and I never had any doubts about Seb, Andee or Graeme. No One Saw It Coming opens with Jack and Hanna Madden who are at a lavish and elegant evening party in Clifton, a posh Bristol suburb.

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. I did guess who committed the crime, but in a million years wouldn’t have guessed the why, that was very convoluted. I had the audiobook read by Helen Stern, a great range of distinct voices for the array of characters.Master storyteller Susan Lewis blends emotional family drama, heart-stopping tension and nail-biting suspense' Reader review ? Yes, Riona does confide in me from time to time, and she was so upset about this that it all came tumbling out. I found it soooo hard to get into the first half of the book had me so mad almost to the middle of the book that I either wanted to scream or throw it at the mirror in the bathroom, that being the only safe mirror because it can shatter into the basin! This story was very interesting, especially because the husband of one of my colleagues actually was “Riona”-like. 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.

Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader.

I did find the plot had many similarities to other novels of this genre and I anticipated the resolutions.With a solid cast of supporting characters, the author creates a twisty tale set in England filled with friendships, romance, and obsession. Biography: Susan Lewis is the internationally bestselling author of over forty books across the genres of family drama, thriller, suspense and crime. It kept me very entertained and I whizzed through it so it gets a good rating, but would I recommend it? The plot is relatively easy to guess half way through, but nonetheless good story, good characters and an unusual premise.

THE AUTHOR: Susan Lewis is the bestselling author of over forty books across the genres of family drama, thriller, suspense and crime. 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. Wouldn’t rave about it like others have but I’m guessing that they must be die hard Susan Lewis Fans. The characterisation is excellent, although none of the characters are particularly likeable, and I didn’t connect or warm to any of them.

It takes a big turn in the 2nd half of the book, but turns out that some people DID see it coming because I figured out the twist early :) I liked the twist and the 2nd half of the book better than the first half, but I just wasn’t that surprised by anything that happened and some of it seemed pretty unrealistic.
