The Safe House

By: Nicci French

Narrated by: Lucy Paterson

The Safe House is a scintillating psychological thriller by the Top Ten bestselling author, Nicci French.

You open your home and your heart to a victim. But your house is anything but safe....

Samantha Laschen is a doctor specialising in post-traumatic stress disorder. She's moved to the coast to escape her problems and to be alone with her young daughter. But now the police want her to take in Fiona Mackenzie, a girl whose parents have been savagely murdered. Yet by allowing Fiona in, Sam is exposing herself - and her daughter - to risks she couldn't possibly have imagined.

Loved the twists and turns

There are a lot of twists and turns in this book, and the reader starts to see them at the same time as the main character does. I really liked that.

Not their best

Not bad, but not their best. As with most of these crime mysteries, the plot gradually becomes more and more improbable. The ending was not satisfactory. But it held my interest throughout.
