It’s an
honor to be a part of the blog tour for SAFE HOUSE (Berkley Trade
Paperback Original; March 10, 2020), the second standalone thriller by the
author of The Exes’ Revenge (2018), Jo Jakeman.
Jo’s
breakout debut told the story of three women taking matters into their own
hands after being wronged by the same man. Now, Jo returns with another
chilling story, this time starring a betrayed woman who just wants a fresh
start.
She's
paid the price for giving her ex a false alibi, and now she's moved to a
seaside village to escape her past--but more than her lie follows her there in
this chilling and twisty psychological thriller from the author of the
acclaimed The Exes' Revenge.
One
day, a woman turns up in a remote coastal village. She's bought a crumbling,
long-vacant cottage and calls herself Charlie Miller. Charlie keeps to herself,
reluctant to integrate with the locals. If they ever find out who she really
is, and what she's done, she'll lose what little she has left.
Charlie served two years in
prison for providing a false alibi for a murderer. It was the mistake of a
woman in love, a woman who couldn't believe her boyfriend was guilty--or lying
to her. All she desperately wants now is a fresh start.
As Charlie slowly lets down her guard
and becomes friendly with her neighbors, she can't shake the feeling that
someone is watching her, someone who knows what she did. When one of her new
friends suddenly disappears, Charlie's worst fears are confirmed. She must
confront her past head-on, but as she knows all too well, everything is far
more dangerous than how it appears.
This is a
twisted, atmospheric novel that will hold your attention from beginning to end.

Thanks
for stopping by today. Do you enjoy thrillers that have that twisted side that
keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last sentence?
Oh my. This sounds right up my very broad alley. Thank you for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about those seaside towns and villages that make for very good settings for a suspense novel like this one, Mason. It sounds like one of those novels that draws you in. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's not my normal genre, but after reading Joylene's two stories (and publishing them) I discovered I do like the psychological thrillers.
