Safe Word is a crime thriller set in an English village about a risky affair that goes wrong. I devoured this book really quickly and it had my attention from the beginning. The author crafts a tale that flips between the past and present. Barnes weaves an intense web of crumbs that has the reader curious to know what comes next. The characters were ingenious, the unexpected twists left me gasping, and the deceptive saying of everything is not as it seems on the surface was perfect for this book. I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read more by this author.

What a book! I really loved this, kept me gripped til the end and I loved finding out more about all the characters. I was really intrigued by Agnes and almost couldn't figure her out - when was she being genuine? I knew she had lots to hide though.
I did like the neighbourly love in the cul-de-sac however it seemed too good to be true...I would love friendly neighbours like them though! I liked reading how the friendships developed over time especially the old friendship.
If you haven't read any Charlotte Barnes' books before, then this would make the ideal first read to get you hooked!
