My Review

Thank you Insta Book Tours for including me on the December book tour for Susan Lewis’ Nothing to See Here.

Lewis is a new-to-me author but has written 50 books to date, spanning different genres! Nothing to See Here falls into the thriller category. The story follows podcaster Cristy as she rebuilds her life after separating from her husband and pivots to podcasting to revive her career and give herself some distance work-wise from her ex.

Her latest project is the sixteen-year-old Kellon Manse cold case in which 3 people were murdered: Lexie Gordon, her mother and her therapist. Lexie is a mother of two and on the same day as her murder, her 10 year old daughter Amelia disappeared. Suspicion initially fell on her husband David but CPS were unable to bring him to trial. The launch of each new episode of the podcast, encourages people to come out of the woodwork with tips and theories. Despite the obvious mother/daughter/friend relationships between the victims, they are also linked by the same butterfly necklace and talks of branding and cults… There’s a dark backstory behind why Lexie left university too.

At 512 pages this is on the lengthy side and I personally felt it could be less drawn out. The story has dark and intriguing undertones but the pacing was too slow for me.

Thanks again to Insta Book Tours for including me on this December book of the month tour and for gifting me a free copy of this book in order to participate in the tour.
