The Safe Place by Anna Downes

3 1/2 stars
A screwball young woman gets fired again only to find herself rehired by the firm's handsome head who offers Emily a job as a groundskeeper/personal assistant/companion to his wife and young daughter who just happen to live in an estate on the coast of France. Great pay, no living expenses and she gets to live on a beautiful remote estate - sounds a little good to be true. Emily goes anyway and lets just say that the job is less than perfect. Scary and full of unreliable narrators and a good portion of weirdness, this thriller will keep your heartbeat raised. A great summer read that will make you feel like you made the right call turning down that summer au pair position for the wealthy family going to Cote D'Azur.
