No One Saw a Thing

I was excited about this one but it wasn't for me.

This started quite strong, with a tense opening sequence of 2 children accidentally getting on a Tube train alone and only 1 getting off at the next stop.

After the first 20% however the pace slowed right down and became a bit of a slog, with short present chapters but longer past chapters which just became a bit samey and boring.

I skimmed through the the 40-60% mark and found barely anything had changed, then it eventually picked up again at the 80% mark.

For a short book, it felt dragged out and the big reveal wasn't all that worth it in the end.

Good surprises

This was an absolutely fantastic book! Thrilling, twisty and full of tension.

I liked Sive, but as for Aaron and the rest of his friends I really struggled to understand why or how any of them were friends considering how they were constantly trying to outdo each other in terms of their achievements in life. Their constant sniping and one-upmanship was annoying.

Saying that, I still loved the book. It was compelling and if I'd had a physical copy of the book, I would likely have read it in one go!

I felt sorry for Sive, especially when Aaron kept refusing to keep an open mind and point blank refused to accept that a certain line of enquiry might actually be linked to his daughter's disappearance. Like, hello, your daughter is missing so surely you'd want to keep an open mind about something like that no matter how unlikely it might've seemed to you?!

Urgh, he really was an annoying, arrogant ass of a character!

Anyway, on that note, thank you to PH and Andrea Mara for the chance to read this excellent book!

Highly recommend it!
