About this deal

Often with a book with so many characters sometimes you don’t get enough of a feel for everyone but in NOSAT Andrea weaves such an enmeshed tangle of shared history that you’re itching to know what happens to every single person. Later I found myself looking at the little % icon on my kindle and groaning when I saw how much more was left to read. When it came to working out who took Milo every single person was a suspect, so when the grand reveal comes its more shocking than I had expected. Her daughter has disappeared in a city of eight million people, no one sees a thing and inevitably there are a million ‘what ifs’ in Sive’s brain and still no sign .

En este caso, los motivos que nos ofrece me habrían parecido más plausibles si el secuestro hubiera sido el resultado de un impulso. This is a fantastic read it starts with every parents worse nightmare you lose your child in a place where you don’t know and nobody saw a thing. However, Andrea Mara skilfully brings all the plotlines together and this is a compelling and fast paced psychological thriller.Sive and Aaron are a power couple, she’s a journalist and he’s a high flying criminal defence lawyer. As a result, it felt like watching a film with someone who repeatedly says "oh wait, here comes the good bit". The story is told in multiple timelines - the present time and past events, both only a few days ago and several years back. Hacia el final cuando ya crees que está todo resuelto (ya me pilló por sorpresa porque no acerté) vuelven a ocurrir cosas que te dejan con la boca abierta de nuevo. Marissa is your obvious panicked mother she doesn't know where her child is and is kicking herself for not following up more before letting her son go on his first ay date.

But before Sive manages to catch up with them, the doors of the Tube close and it departs without her. Irish Times Top Ten bestselling author Andrea Mara, has written her UK debut “All Her Fault” - a mystery domestic thriller where secrets and lies can rapidly rip a family apart when they start to be revealed.

That's not to say the characters are shallow or one dimensional, but this book is taking you on an action-filled ride, not a psychologist session. It’s a gigantic puzzle, pieces of information come at you - what’s relevant, what’s a blind alley, what’s a red herring? Jenny does what she can to help the Irvines to assuage her feelings of guilt but there is no progress. What unravels is a fast-paced, twisted thriller where those closest to you seem to have the most to hide.

But I think it can happen to a degree when old friends meet up after a long break or at school reunions for example – not so much people trying to outdo one another, but rather something we do to ourselves: comparing internally with others and wondering if we come up short. I feel so lucky to get to do what I do, not least because it has obviated the need for any midlife crisis. I’m lucky in that my friends and I are all too busy trying to bring up our teenagers; we don’t have the headspace for comparison and one-upmanship. The book has such a good pace throughout, it is always kept pushing forward and there's always things happening so there are absolutely no filler chapters.Crossing timelines, Andrea Mara creates a complex web of deception and lies, with red herrings aplenty, baiting the reader and successfully leaving you flummoxed on more than one occasion. Maybe it's because I couldn't get past the first 5 pages of three books in a row and I was willing to accept anything decently written with open arms.
