The next thrilling novel by Anna Downes.
Praise for THE SAFE PLACEIt's such a rare thing - a
claustrophobic,
addictive thriller that lets you actually feel for all of the characters involved. Anna has such skill in combining the
heart-in-mouth feeling that everything is building to a disaster with
genuine emotionA
brilliantly atmospheric novel that keeps you equally
gripped and unsettled from page one.
Starkly original and with an alarmingly plausible premise, this is
destined to be a bestsellerThe Safe Place is a
dark and
wonderful debut that lulls you in with
beautiful prose and
complex, believable characters, then beats you over the head with
a killer plot and
a thrilling climax. It's the kind of book you race through as quickly as you can so you can start it again.
