Review of ‘No Safe Place’ by Hannah Brennan, due to be published on 31 July 2025 by Avon Books UK.

The first in the Detective Field series, a man is brutally stabbed, a young woman is killed. Both are known to each other, a Child Psychologist and his former patient.

With a strong female protagonist, Detective Field must work to find out why they have been targeted after so long and why they were killed.

A great debut police thriller with plenty of twists and suspense.

Recommended read.

WOW!!! This book was an incredible debut novel, full of factual information AND plenty of twists and turns along the way.

Lily and Callum battle OCD, but got better courtesy of their doctor. Years later, the trial they were in comes back to haunt them. The doctor was murdered and it doesn't stop there. Why? Why would anyone want to murder someone who helped people? Did he hurt them? Follow the journey and how OCD is a truly crippling diagnosis that hinders many of the characters.

An ending you don't see coming and was brilliantly woven into the story! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is a fast paced and gritty police procedural with a clever exploration of OCD as a theme. The procedural details felt real and well written. It was utterly convincing. The subject matter was sensitively and intelligently handled.
The police protagonist was strong and relatable and the scene setting of SE London worked for me. The writing was high quality throughout with convincing dialogue
This is a well crafted and elevated thriller. An amazing debut which I loved. I read this in a day. I'm looking forward to more.

Great writer but I really could not get into this story. Thanks for the opportunity to read but it was just not for me. Good Luck with the boo.

A fast page-turner with a good plot I can’t wait to read next book by this author! WOW! Just WOW! This kept me wondering and guessing until the very end! I read this book in a few hours on the sofa as I couldn’t bear to put it down I loved it!

This heart pounding nail bitting police thriller is stunning! The unexpected twists and turns were perfect. This book had a bit of everything I was glued to my Kindle!

I’d highly recommend this book a solid 5 stars and it’s definitely a must read when it comes out!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!

It was the relationship between Lily and Callum that pulled me in. I couldn't work it out for a long while. Whilst I was still puzzling that one I got caught up in Fields life and everything that came with it.
These characters are so believable human. Not once did I roll my eyes and think "as if".
The murders are interesting and puzzling, who, and more importantly "why now?"
The Old side of things added an extra layer to the book, the limitations an illness can bring to your life.
A very good read in my opinion.

There’s no one more deadly than the killer you know. A man is found brutally stabbed and left for dead. A young woman is killed in a frenzied attack in the middle of the night on a quiet residential road. Detective Liz Field is brought in to lead the investigation. The first victim was a well-respected child psychologist. The second victim was once his patient. But that was fifteen years ago. Why is someone targeting them now?! Great read!! This book had chilling suspense, gruesome murders, mystery, intriguing, action, and a few shocking twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
