About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The No.1 Sunday Times bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club psychological thriller.


Two children get on the train. Only one gets off...

'Probably the most suspenseful book I will read all year.' Liz Nugent

No one saw it happen.
Your two little girls jump on the train ahead of you. As you try to join them, the doors slide shut and the train moves away, leaving you behind.

Everyone is lying.
It's only when you reach the next stop that you truly begin to panic. Because there aren't two children waiting for you on the platform. There's only one.

Someone is to blame.
Has your other daughter got lost? Been taken by a passing stranger? Or perhaps the culprit is closer to home than you think?

Critic reviews

'The pace never flags, the tension racks up and the pages turn themselves. Probably the most suspenseful book I will read all year.'
'Andrea Mara has a gift for turning 'what if' into 'uh-oh' - No One Saw a Thing is a fantastic example of her compelling plotting. I was hooked by the end of chapter one.'
'Utterly gripping... You will look hard to find a more searing opening 15 pages of a thriller this year... A sure-fire winner from start to finish.'
'Such a clever page-turner, drawing on every parent's darkest fears'
'This sharply observed novel manages to be at once an intricate puzzle and an involving race against time'
I loved No One Saw a Thing by Andrea Mara - which saw me deciding I knew what was happening every 5 minutes and realising I was wrong 5 minutes later. So clever. Tense, twisty, turny.
'As soon as I started reading this, I had no choice but to continue reading until the last page. I DEVOURED it. Such a tense, thrilling ride of a novel that played into my darkest fears and captured the emotions of panicked parents so evocatively.'
'I dare, nay defy, you to try and put this thriller down!'
'Twisting, frightening and impossible to put down. No One Saw A Thing is Andrea Mara at her nerve-shredding best. I loved it.'
'From the first chapter of this Andrea Mara novel, I had shivers. Twisty, clever, impossible to put down.'

This is a great story that has many layers. You’ll have to suspend disbelief at times but then, it IS fiction. There is a lot of characters and details especially in the back story, so I did have to rewind at times. Also the narrator although good , didn’t have a distinctive voice for the male characters so that was also a bit confusing at first but I got used to it. initially I was wondering if I was going to like it but suddenly it became really gripping . Lots of twists and cliff hangers at the end of chapters , and the story was excellent right to the very last page pretty much.
