About this listen

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.

I couldn't like the heroine and I didnt like the ending but the writing and plot twists were up to the usual standard.

At the beginning it felt like a Police procedural. Then your whisked on emotional rollercoaster. Great Character development even greater story telling. Gentle yet Brutal too!

A Slow Burner With A Really Juicy Twist

I suspect this actual story is quite good. However the narrator read as if she wasn’t really understanding what she was reading. She also slipped in and out of accents often using the wrong one so it was hard to tell who was talking. I found it very difficult to concentrate on what she was saying and to follow the storyline because of the style of her narration which felt actressy and disengaged.
In addition audible are refusing to let me return this book for no good reason. Be warned.

Had to give up poor narrator.

Brilliant Story

Narration was good, story was intriguing although I'm still a bit confused. I enjoyed the characters and the momentum but I feel a bit like I've been to therapy. I think it needs another listen.

I think I enjoyed it.....
