What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

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?

Everyone is talking about No One Saw a Thing:

'You will look hard to find a more searing opening 15 pages of a thriller this year.' Irish Independent

'This sharply observed novel manages to be at once an intricate puzzle and an involving race against time' The Sunday Times

'I was hooked by the end of chapter one.' Jane Casey

'Such a clever page-turner' Cara Hunter

'I DEVOURED it.' Fiona Cummins
