Safe House

Summary

'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

  • Nerve-wrackingly tense and paranoia-inducing, with a sense of unease that just won't let go. I loved every minute!
