7.10.2020 - The Safe Place

The Safe Place by Anna Downes

Many thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Books, and Anna Downes for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - 4 stars for an entertaining read.  I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

Emily is trying to make her way as an actress but nothing ever quite pans out.  She's doing temp work to help pay the bills but coming up short on that as well.  In one day, she loses her agent, her job and her apartment.  Even asking her adoptive parents for money didn't work out and Emily is desperate.  When her boss saves her from a panic attack in the street, he offers her a job as a caretaker of sorts at his family estate in France where his wife and young daughter live.  Emily jumps at the chance and soon finds herself as happy as she has ever been and growing very close to the couple, Scott and Nina.  But when she discovers that things aren't what they appear, everything is in danger.

First - what a gorgeous cover!  The story is told in alternating viewpoints of Scott, Nina and Emily.  A quick read with plenty of weird happenings that leave you guessing - and even though you may guess the ending, it's no less enjoyable.
