Safe A Novel

Praise for Safe
Fantastically good dark yet compellingly upbeat, and insanely suspenseful . . . Even the twists have twists. Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Dark, compulsive, full of OMG moments. If you think you know where it s going . . . YOU DON T. This is one you won t forget in a hurry. Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone

Safe is an absolutely first-rate psychological thriller, with a serpentine plot and complex, fully realized characters. I picked it up before bedtime an amateur mistake, in retrospect and kept whispering  just one more chapter to myself until I'd finished the whole damn thing. Cristina Alger, New York Times bestselling author of Girls Like Us

Safe is everything you want out of a thriller and then some. Emotionally fraught storytelling with crisp prose and perfect pacing in service of one hell of a twisting journey home. Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead and If She Wakes

All I can say is WOW. This is the very definition of a page-turner. Compulsively readable from the beginning and then as you get past that first twist, absolutely riveting. The kind of pull the carpet out from under you blockbuster that made The Girl on the Train and The Woman in the Window such huge hits. What a diabolical read! Should be a #1 bestseller! Christopher Reich, New York Times bestselling author of The Take and Numbered Account

Safe is a fast-moving, perfectly paced book about what happens when a missing child returns home twelve years later. Intense, dark, and full of unpredictable twists. Don t miss this one. Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of My Lovely Wife

The pseudonymous Barnett takes an all-too-common premise and winds it into a twisty and tense exploration of family secrets, survival, and the often blurred lines between fantasy and reality and predator and prey. . . . Readers will likely think they know where this runaway train is headed, making the final twists that much more surprising. . . . A creepy and darkly addictive thriller. Kirkus Reviews

A thought-provoking premise, excellently executed and featuring the incredibly believable voice of a cynical teenager who s seen way too much. Booklist

Beautifully crafted... it piles revelation upon revelation with devastating effect leaving the reader gasping. If you think you can predict what s going to happen, think again. It s that good. Daily Mail, UK
