3.5 stars rounded up

Mike Gannon is an ex-cop, ex Navy SEAL, who wants to spend his retirement fishing. When an old friend turns up investigating a cold case, things hit the fan quickly. Colleen enlists Mike's help to uncover some deep, dark secrets.


Overall, this was a good read. The beginning was a bit slow, but once the action started, it was nonstop. The story line is more like an action movie, really relies on suspension of disbelief. Thrilling yes, mystery kinda?

Thank you netgalley for the free copy for an honest review.

this uses the thriller element perfectly in the story, it had that tense atmosphere that I was hoping for. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and how they worked with the adventure element with the suspense. Michael Ledwidge has a great writing style and I'm glad I got to read this.

For me 5 stars. I luved this book.

Ex-SEAL, ex-cop Mike Gannon is enjoying a fishing trip in Connecticut when he meets with a lady he had a crush on years ago.. She’s investigating a disappearance and finds she’s being stonewalled at every turn in the small New England college town.. Her questions create unrest with the wrong people, including the college president, his wife, the college’s Director of Security, and the police chief. All ‘heck’ breaks out. Mercenaries are brought in to eliminate various threats. Gannon turns the table on them and non-stop action ensues.

This talented author has written a page turner. Red herrings and secrets abound…family and friends…happiness yet sadness…what will happen next? How will the story end? Difficult questions…realistic characters keep the story going. I like this author…a quick mystery…thanks Netgalley

This book starts out leisurely. You get a little hint of a crime, meet some characters, talk about fishing, meet more characters, do some fishing, meet some more characters, and then…WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU, MA’AM!

Suddenly, things go boom, bullets fly, people die! And the rest of the book is non-stop, munch your popcorn action, heartbreak, and an attack of pure evil.

By the end, you’ll need to catch your breath.

And what a glorious surprise it was.

While I do wish the pacing in the first part of the book was a bit faster, I definitely want the next book now!

Hiding out off the grid on a trout stream in the middle of rural New England, the last thing Mike Gannon is looking for is more trouble in No Safe Place by Michael Ledwidge. Gannon bumps into an old girlfriend who is an investigator up from New York City looking into the mysterious death of a student at a nearby prestigious college.

First, a whistleblower comes forward with evidence of a deadly scandal. Then, shortly after, a group of dangerous men arrive who will do anything to keep secrets buried.

I really liked Olivia; she was a good character and relatable. However, there was so much going on in this book that sometimes it was hard to follow and keep the characters straight.

No Safe Place was an okay read for me.

No Safe Place is a fascinating novel about the lengths people go to in order to cover up misdeeds. The action (and there is plenty of it) takes place in a small town in Connecticut in and around a so-called exclusive college. This reader found it interesting that Yale University (without actually being named) is referred to as a nearby minor Ivy League college. Without divulging the plot, the novel is replete with well defined characters and has many necessary story coincidences that further the plot. It was hard for me to stop reading and finished the book in one seating. I also feel that this would make an excellent movie.
I thank NetGalley and Hanover Square Press for the opportunity to read and review this novel prior to publication and will wholeheartedly recommend this book to friends.
