Jess goes back to her native Australia to recover from traumatic events in her job as a Metropolitan police analyst in London. She gets a position as a caretaker in an isolated empty mansion for a couple of months of peace and quiet, but stranded people keep turning up and Jess feels obliged to offer them temporary hospitality. Then a bush fire starts, and they cannot escape, so are trapped together with increasing weirdness, and Jess doesn't know who to trust. Very exciting and violent, with lots of twists.

A really fast moving thriller which grabbed my attention after the first few chapters as I got into the story. The main character is carrying an unexplained back story which is gradually revealed leading to the decision in the final chapter.
A really great read.

Mostly a good read but preferred ‘The Stranger on Board’ book.
This one took a while to get going and there was a lot of bad language.
But apart from that it was non stop action once it got going.

The Safe House is anything but.
What a tense thrill ride that was. Jess was a fantastic protagonist, and her random assortment of ‘unexpected guests’ I liked how the story played out. It progressed at a fast pace and there was never a dull moment.
The way that bushfires were described were like being there — feeling the intensity and wall of fire. All the stars for Cameron Ward.,

A spooky read, strangers marooned in a huge mansion in the Australian wilderness. Death, drugs and diamonds make for a riveting, suspenseful read with lots of drama. I liked how everyone has their secrets and the reader doesn't know who to trust. Enjoyable and gripping.
