Frieda Klein is a solitary, incisive psychotherapist who spends her sleepless nights walking along the ancient rivers that have been forced underground in modern London. She believes that the world is a messy, uncontrollable place. The abduction of five-year-old Matthew Farraday provokes a national outcry and a desperate police hunt. And when his face is splashed over the newspapers, Frieda cannot ignore the coincidence: one of her patients has been having dreams in which he has a hunger for just such a child.

Full of promise
Would you listen to The Safe House again? Why?
Not sure I would listen to it again, I enjoyed the book for the most part but found it too long by about half, a little repetitive and it was if the authors didn't know how to come to a conclusion and when they did I felt frustrated!
Would you be willing to try another book from Nicci French? Why or why not?
I normally love Nicci French books and especially those I have purchased from Audible, they are usually easy listening with a compelling edge.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I don't think I can fault Lucy Paterson, she read it brilliantly.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I didn't listen to this in one sitting but I did finish it in a two day period.

Disappointing story and annoying narration
What disappointed you about The Safe House?
The actual story has some very clever elements, however nothing is explored to any depth so as a listener you do not have any buy in to the characters. This is also not helped by the narrator who insists on doing accents to the full, the child voice is particularly grating and the Spanish one could be from the 70's comedy "Mind your language"
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending put me in mind of the stories my Children used to write, they start off with such promise but invariably end with "Then i woke up" this is short hand for I got bored.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I am a fan of the Nicci French Team, i love Freda Klein so was expecting the same high standard, this felt like track 6 of a good album, just filler
