The Safe Place by Anna Downes is an excellent suspense novel that adds thrills, twists, and turns from beginning to end. This book is the debut novel from Ms. Downes, and she does not disappoint with this psychological thriller that kept me guessing and kept me interested. There were even a few surprises and twists scattered throughout.
I enjoyed the characters of Emily, Scott, and Nina. Emily is thrust into what should be an ideal position and location in secluded France as a housekeeper/groundskeeper, all-in-one. What should be the first clue that there could be hiccups in the plan is the isolation factor of no phone/internet. What the reader then gets to experience is a slow burn of a mystery that picks up pace as the book proceeds.
The pace and dialogue were a breeze, and I enjoyed this book immensely. I look forward to future works from this author.
5/5 stars
