No Safe House follows Cynthia and her family, previously seen in No Time for Goodbye. This book is a fast-paced thriller, easily matching up to the success of its predecessor.
Terry Archer, Cynthia's husband, plays a bigger part in No Safe House alongside daughter Grace. Terry faces difficult decisions and threatening situatons, and does so with surprisingly little panic for someone whose previous experience in violent crime would have been little Jimmy hitting big Sam with a bendy ruler (he’s a teacher). Wherever he gets this strength from, he does, and is a calming influence on the family.
There’s a much bigger storyline in this book; this isn’t all about Cynthia anymore and some of the ‘baddies’ match up to blockbuster gangster types.
No Safe House tells an exciting story, keeps the pace and ends well.
