'You'll be gripped' Heat

SHE LIED TO PROTECT A KILLER. NOW THERE'S NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE. . .

The morning after a great storm, a woman arrives in a remote Cornish village.

But Charlie, as she now calls herself, steers clear of the locals and keeps a low profile - because she has a terrible secret.

Recently released from prison after providing a false alibi for the man she loved, Charlie wants to move on and start afresh. But someone, somewhere, is watching her, determined that she will never get that second chance.

Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, Alex Michaelides and Harriet Tyce

Reviews for Safe House: The most gripping thriller you’ll read in 2021

I was absolutely gripped by this tale of secrets, lies, and the impossibility of running away from your past. I struggled to put this book down. Fantastic! -- Luca Veste, author of <i>The Bone Keeper</i> An excellent, page-turning psychological suspense novel with a great plot and an engaging protagonist! Kept me guessing to the end -- Jenny Quintana, author of <i>The Missing Girl</i> A queasily unsettling thriller is suffused with menace. * Sunday Mirror * You'll be gripped by just who is out to get Charlie - and why * HEAT * Nerve-wrackingly tense and paranoia-inducing, with a sense of unease that just won't let go. I loved every minute!
