About this listen
A kidnapped girl survived 12 nightmarish years.
Now she's safely back home...or is she?
Jenny Kristal was six years old when she was snatched off the sidewalk from her quiet suburban neighborhood. Twelve years later, she's miraculously returned home after escaping her kidnappers - but as her parents and older brother welcome her back, the questions begin to mount. Where has she been all these years? Why is she back now? And is home really the safest place for her...or for any of them?
"Fantastically good - dark yet compellingly upbeat, and insanely suspenseful.... Even the twists have twists." (Lee Child, number one New York Times best-selling 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 best-selling author of Then She Was Gone)

“Sometimes teenagers run away...Give her a few days. She’ll be back.” That’s what the police tell Jessica Moore when her seventeen-year-old daughter, Wyn, vanishes. All signs point to this being true. But days become weeks. Weeks become months. And Jessica begins to fear the terrible truth - that she may never see her daughter again.

Grace Holloway keeps to herself. Since narrowly escaping death at the hands of the man who kidnapped her, she’s thrown herself into the small inn she runs in Rock Harbor, Maine. It’s quiet, quaint and, in the off-season, completely isolated—the perfect place for Grace to keep her own secrets. But Grace isn’t the only one with something to hide, and Rock Harbor isn’t just a sleepy vacation town. Someone is taking young women—girls who look an awful lot like Grace did when she was kidnapped so many years ago.

UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated.

Critic reviews
"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 best-selling 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 best-selling 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 number one best seller!" (Christopher Reich, New York Times best-selling author of The Take and Numbered Account)

After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she’s eager to settle down. Lilydale’s motto, “Come Home Forever,” couldn’t be more inviting. And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village. The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can’t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall.

Best Book of 2020
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Narration was good in that voices were well differentiated, not-so-good in all its overly dramatic acting.
I did listen to the end, so that makes it a 3 star.
Mediocre
