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.'

My dogs have been walked so much this week as I could not stop listening! Full of twists right up the the end.

Excellent narration and storyline

Do make sure to purchase this title. Listened to it in 3 afternoons. Totally gripping from beginning to end. Had me trying to work out who had done what but I was completely wrong. Loved this. Will be looking for more titles by the author and the narration was just as good! Didn't want the book to end but at the same time I needed it to do I could be told exactly what was what. Big thumbs up from me...

This book had a promising start and whilst i made it through, it became a bit hectic and the ending was rushed and disappointing. I didn’t really care for the characters so wasn’t fully invested.

A bit messy and a terrible ending

Really good listen, I kept thinking I had it solved then the clues led me another way. Good story, well narrated.

Brilliant - binge listened

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The premise is terrifying and strong but the adult relationships are a bit nauseating. The last few pages are just utterly ridiculous. A good holiday read but frustrating in places

A bit over hyped
