"Simmering with suspicion, this suspenseful crime novel sees a brutal crime unleash waves of family secrets that ricochet through the cosy lives of a privileged couple."
With family drama at its heart, Susan Lewis’ No One Saw It Coming is a snappy, compelling crime novel for readers who relish being swept up in the complex, tangled lives of others. Driven by intrigue around an upper-middle-class couple and their circle of friends, an undercurrent of unease pervades the story, with escalating menace seeping through their day-to-day lives of dinner parties, lunches, and doing charitable work.
Apart from being frustrated by their “wild child” daughter, Hanna and Jack appear to have it all — money, a close circle of friends, professional satisfaction, and connections in high places. They also have a deal whereby they’re allowed to indulge in extra-marital affairs, provided they’re not too close to home and don’t get serious.
But, as the title suggests, Jack and Hanna’s near-perfect life is about to unravel in unforeseen ways when a vicious crime is committed. The resulting suspicion and mounting sense of distrust and danger makes for a page-turning rollercoaster ride.
