Discover the gripping, Sunday Times bestselling crime thriller that will keep you hooked to the very end.

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

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…

'The pace never flags, the tension racks up and the pages turn themselves. Probably the most suspenseful book I will read all year.'

'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.'
