The book starts off with a missing child who seems to have almost vanished into thin air, with his parents as the main suspects. The rest of the book was a bit of slow burn for me, but I’ll admit I didn’t fully guess the twist! A fascinating thriller and every mother’s worst nightmare, a definite must read!

3,75 ⭐️ || Thank you Bookouture for the ARC!!
So, This book was a ride. I was hooked from the very beginning to that point where I just wasn’t able to put it down because I NEEDED to know what is going to happen. It’s also fast paced! I have to say tho, the book kinda lost me at the 50% mark. The plot point that had happened slowed the book down for me. Which isn’t a critic because it made sense for that to happen. After that, I was still entertained and wanted to know how they’ll find the person. I just wasn’t that hooked anymore as I was before.
All in all I enjoyed reading this and I really recommend it if you want a good thriller to read.

Great book! Thank you for letting me read in advance. Could not put it down all weekend. Looking up more from this author now.

A fast paced thriller of a read with plenty of twists, I always enjoy this author and this was no exception.

I got involved in the storyline and reading about the characters and I can thoroughly recommend this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

GREAT thriller.
Intensely suspenseful with deep character definitions and a riveting story.
No takes her son Sam swimming in a local pool, only to gave him disappear while she is using the bathroom and he is sitting right outside her cubicle on the bench.
When she reports him missing and the police search/investigation begins, little Sam dies not appear on any of the
local CCTV; only Jo does.
So suspicious immediately lands on her.
The story takes off from there and never slows down.
Everyone has secrets: her husband as well as her neighbor and employer.
All of a sudden, no one is as they seem above as the search for the missing boy ramps up, the lies and
subterfuge ramps up equally.
Top of the shelf mystery.

As a parent every parent’s nightmare is when your child goes missing!! Whether it’s a couple of seconds are really missing.
A public pool full of people and no one saw a thing! Sam is missing! Where did he go? Everything in your mind is racing and thinking were did he go? In todays world CCTV footage is everywhere and he was not where the Jo said he was.
We have heard the term “gone without a trace”, and that is terrifying. Is the mother involved? As a mother I am thankful my child never went up missing.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced review copy.

Nobody Saw Him follows the story of Sam, a 5 year old who vanishes while at the public swimming pool with his mom.

The story hooked me immediately but then became more of a slow burn. There was so much inner dialogue and details, especially from Claire, that it was hard to keep turning through some of the chapters.

I felt so much sympathy for Jo, Sam’s mother, and never really considered her a suspect….though I felt she may be charged with the kidnapping out of convenience. Thankfully that wasn’t the case.

I actually suspected the true villain early on and was right in the end. Still, there were some doubts as some of the secrets and twists were revealed.

I believe the book is a solid read, and without so much additional fluff, I think it would be a 5 star!

I started out liking this book and was really hooked. Then it just had way too much in the middle. I got bored, skimmed, and went to the back to see who the kidnapper was. This would be an amazing book if she cut out 100 pages or so. Just way too much.

This was the first book I read from this author and I enjoyed it. The book was a bit of a slow burn in the beginning but the suspense kept me reading and when the story picked up about halfway through I struggled to put the book down and kept reading until the end.

The author did a good job of describing the setting of this book which made the experience very immersive.

The characters in this book were well written. All of them had some flaws so I never know who to trust, however I would have liked to learn more about the backstory of some characters. The ending of the book was good although I did guess a part of the reveal. Nevertheless I found the book interesting and recommend it to everyone that likes slow burn, dark and suspenseful thrillers.

Great read!! Everyone is a suspect! I thought the mother was delusional, and then suspected the father... heck, I even suspected the gardener!
Liz Lawler really keeps the reader guessing in this novel. The disappearance of a child is always concerning, and the mother is always a suspect, but I really felt sorry for Jo. She had a coldhearted husband to contend with.
I loved the FLO team! John and Moraine had such compassion!

Well written and the plot keeps the reader engaged.

4/5 stars

The description of this book really drew me in, but the actual story didn’t do the same. I felt as if there is too much detail making the chapters seem a bit repetitive. I am giving this book 3 stars because I can see the potential of it, and it may be for someone else, but it was just a little too slow paced for me.

I do look forward to trying some of Liz’s other books, and I truly appreciate the opportunity to get this book early!

Great book! Thank you for letting me read in advance. Could not put it down all weekend. Looking up more from this author now.

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and the publisher for approving my request to read this book.

Nobody saw him is a good solid thriller which for me was a bit of a slow burner to start but it picked up the pace nicely after the storyline was set and the characters were built. I was intrigued by all the characters within this story and thought they were extremely well written. This story also kept my brain ticking as I was tried to fit all the pieces together.

Overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it if you enjoy this genre.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookoutur for the Arc!

The book started a little slow, and while I still really enjoyed the story, this is usually not my cup of tea, I have to admit.

It was still a solid read, with a lot of twist and turns, and of course I wanted to know what happened to Sam. If you want to know as well, go and get the book once it does come out!

4/5 stars! This book was so conflicting. It's premise alone didn't work for me because I would never leave a child unattended when out and about. But the way this author spun the psychological warfare and confusion was so enthralling I couldn't stop reading.

Nobody saw him tells the story of Jo, whose son vanishes from a public swimming pool. A mother's worst nightmare! Someone calls the police, who tell her there's no evidence her child was with her. Her husband becomes secretive and seems to revel in her feelings of guilt and dispair. Why is everyone treating Jo as if she's lying?

WOW wow wow! this was such an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Twisty, unsettling, and heart-wrenching, it simmers before it explodes! That ending?Absolutely shocking!

A solid 5-star page-turner.

Oh my gosh this book was insane. I honestly had no idea what to believe or feel. I truly thought I knew who did it and was totally sidelined by the reveal. The entire time you wonder what actually happened and if the mother went insane. The suspense and mystery for this book was just amazing. As a mom this is always a worse fear and then to read about it has all the feelings brought out. I really did enjoy reading this however and could not put it down until it was done.

This book’s story had potential but unfortunately it was so slow paced and extremely hard to follow.

Each chapter switched back and forth between multiple characters’ thoughts making it super hard to keep track of who was thinking what. There was also some bread crumbing to secrets and the past within these thoughts but it felt out of nowhere and I was never sure if it was intentional or if I had just missed something.

Due to the slow pace, this book was also very repetitive. I found it hard to keep reading even in the middle of a chapter.

If this was cleaned up a bit to be more clear and succinct I think I would have liked it a lot more.

Definitely a slow burn! If you like that style, you'll love this book. If slow burn isn't for you it is still worth a read as the story is well done. In this case, the slow burn allows for character-building and detail that enhances the story. I appreciated the detail. The author did a fantastic job of leading the reader back and forth to different suspects.

I really enjoyed this! It was a bit of a slow burn which I don’t typically enjoy as much, but this was really gripping. The character of Jo was written incredibly well and you really feel empathy for what she’s going through. This had a good mix of likeable and absolutely awful characters but all of them were interesting in their own right. Would definitely recommend!
