For struggling actress Emily Proudman, life in London is not working out as planned - in fact, it’s falling apart. So when she is offered a live-in job working for a wealthy family on their luxurious coastal property in France, she jumps at the opportunity to start over. The estate is picture-perfect, and its owners exude charisma and sophistication. But as Emily gets to know the family, their masks begin to slip, and what at first appears to be a dream come true turns out to be a prison from which none of them will ever escape - unless Emily can find a way to set them all free. Superbly tense and oozing with atmosphere, THE SAFE PLACE combines the modern suspense of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN with the gothic mind-games of Rebecca.
