De: Caroline Graham

Everyone deserves a second chance – or at least that's what ex-vicar Lionel Lawrence believes when he decides to open up the old rectory to a stream of young offenders. Lionel only wants to help these poor souls, but his good deed quickly spirals into a deadly mix of blackmail and murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby is sure he knows who is behind the disappearance of Lionel's latest young charge. Will this elusive suspect prove to be the incarnation of evil itself?

'[A Place of Safety] is cause for celebration ... Thoroughly charming.' (Booklist)

A surprise ending

Haven’t seen this one dramatized on BBC so it was a nice surprise. I didn’t see relationships ending the way they did. Satisfying conclusion.

Great novel

As always Caroline Graham’s detective Barnaby does not disappoint! Love the ending, very sweet and fitting

My favorite inspector Barnaby yet

The characters and the story were compelling! And a nasty person i hoped would be the murder victim was … lol

She’s the best!

Relistening and it’s always a pleasure. Graham is one of my 3 favorite mystery writers!

Not the usual "Whodunit"

An excellent Inspector Barnaby book. I really wish it had been adapted for the TV show.

Loved it!!!!

I am a Midsomers Murder fan. Love the characters and how the interpersonal relationships evolve. Excellent job!!!!

wow. Just wow.

Knowing the Inspector Barnaby from TV, or the personalities in the villages, you are treated to more in the way of reality in the book or audible.
wonderful surprise, not milk toasty.

Book before TV series every time

Graham’s original Midsomer mysteries are chock full of life’s unpredictability, its grittiest details, most compelling characters, most devious plots, and most unashamed human complexities. I highly recommend these books over the BBC adaptation, which is great, but the above types of details are heavily filtered out for a wider audience. To be fair, I have always liked “the book” over “the show,” no matter what book I happen to be reading at the time. It’s just especially true here. Highly recommend!

Absolutely excellent!

Very clever writing and the narration is brilliant, as with all of all these stories! I pre-ordered the next one, I can’t wait!

Even better than the TV show

I have been watching Midsomer for for years, but this is so much better. Graham’s characters are so believable and her plot so intricately woven that I was reluctant to stop listening. I appreciate her ability to give us insight to the thoughts and motivations of each character. The narration is perfect.
