What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

What if you left your child alone, and something terrible happened?

Anna James is an anxious mother. So when she has to leave eleven-year-old Harrie home alone one evening, she can't stop worrying about her daughter. But nothing bad ever happens in the sleepy village of Barton St Martin.

Except something goes wrong that night, and Anna returns to find Harrie with bruises she won't explain. The next morning a local businessman is reported missing and the village is sparking with gossip.

Anna is convinced there's a connection and that Harrie is in trouble. But how can she protect her daughter if she doesn't know where the danger is coming from?

Critics Review

Utterly gripping, dark, twisty and cleverly written. I was desperate to know what was going on and the killer twist was completely unexpected. Fabulous.

Karen Clarke, author of YOUR LIFE FOR MINE

This is another compelling, edge of your seat thriller from Lauren North where you are never quite sure who to trust. I read it in less than 24 hours and couldn’t put it down. The struggle that Anna goes through in order to get Harrie to open up about what has happened to her, is one any mother will identify with.

Nikki Smith, author of ALL IN HER HEAD and LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO

A breathless thriller that never lets up the pace… as I’m a mother, this novel tapped into one of my primal fears. Razor-sharp and shocking to the end – I need a sequel!

Charlotte Duckworth, author of THE PERFECT FATHER

A wonderfully dark, addictive, intriguing and twisty read. I genuinely couldn’t put it down.

Karen Hamilton, author of THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND

Safe at Home is a deliciously gripping thriller; the twists blew my mind!
