Safe: A missing girl comes home. But is it really her? Paperback – Big Book, 24 June 2021

I liked the twists and turns and surprise ending. There is so much that goes on in a person’s life that we really don’t know or can even comprehend. “Safe” offers up an emotional and almost unbelievable journey into the life of a young person who has “adapted” herself to any situations in order to stay alive. A great read!

An absolutely stunning psychological thriller by the bestselling author of a well-known film who's decided to use a pseudonym to write in a different genre. The characterisation, plot, complexity, twists, and writing style were perfect. The author has clearly done his research on psychology or has a psychology background. And though I guessed what was about to happen two chapters prior that was only because the author had cleverly led me there, so that I felt like I was conducting my own investigation and working things out for myself, and was then proven correct shortly afterwards. This made what became an entertaining read feel plausible, and thus the story realistic. I loved how every loose thread was perfectly tied together in the end. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

The book had been recommended as one to read so I thought I'd give it a whirl. The comment by Lee Child made it that more appealing. However, unlike the written critique I did guess what was going on and I was proved right. Nevertheless, it is well written and most unusual in its style, which was exciting. A good story.

This book was the story I’ve always wanted to read, and I am utterly speechless at how much it drew me in from beginning to end! With so many dark twists, completely unpredictable outcomes and a great big handful of deceit, this book has quickly become one of my all time favourites. Just when I thought I’d cracked the case, the author threw in another curve ball and simply amazed me with the plot even more. I’ve never felt so many emotions all at once when reading and there is enough character variation, disturbing scenes and unpredictable twists to satisfy anyone who loves this genre. An amazing achievement for the author!

Disappointed. Felt it was drawn out & I sussed it out immediately
