Synopsis
NO PHONES
NO OUTSIDERS
NO ESCAPE
'An exciting and compelling new voice, Anna Downes' The Safe Place is a very accomplished debut' B.A. Paris, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Dilemma
Rated 4.5 * on NetGalley, this international bestseller is perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Lesley Kara and Ruth Ware
A BEAUTIFUL HOME MIGHT HIDE DANGEROUS SECRETS
Emily Proudman has been offered the chance of a lifetime - leave her messy London life, move to a beautiful estate in France and help her boss' wife take care of their daughter, Aurelia. It seems like the perfect opportunity to start again.
But once there, Emily soon starts to suspect that her charismatic new employers aren't telling her the whole truth. That there are even dangerous secrets hidden beneath the glamourous facade.
Rather than throwing herself headlong into this oasis of wine-soaked days by the pool, Emily can't help but ask questions. Why have the family been moved to this isolated house so far from home? Why does Aurelia refuse to speak or be touched? Why are there whispers in the night?
The only problem is, the more Emily knows, the less chance there is she will ever be able to leave . . .
PRAISE FOR THE SAFE PLACE

Karen Hamilton, bestselling author of The Perfect Girlfriend

Chris Hammer, award-winning author of Scrublands

Gytha Lodge, bestselling author of She Lies in Wait

Jane Corry, bestselling author of My Husband's Wife

J.P. Pomare, bestselling author of Call Me Evie
