Keep Me Safe

By: Sheryl Browne

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard

An absolutely binge-worthy and totally gripping psychological thriller

‘You’re beautiful,’ Alex tells me when we first meet at a mutual friend’s wedding. I’m flattered, and instantly drawn to him. But as we get closer, I soon realise that Alex is keeping a dark secret. But then again, so am I…

Alex and I haven’t been dating for very long when I go to his place for the first time. Feeling self-conscious as I notice a thread coming loose on my dress, he pours me a glass of wine and I take in the pristine room and expensive furnishings. Everything here is perfect, too perfect. Where are the personal touches, the souvenirs from his life? Where are the photos of his friends and family?

‘You can trust me,’ Alex says as he hands me the wine, and my heart beats wildly in my chest. I really want this to work, especially after the disaster of my last relationship. ‘You can trust me too,’ I say, avoiding his eye and wondering if I’m as safe as I thought I was.

As our relationship progresses and we spend more time together, I begin to make plans for our future. Everything is perfect, but one thing is clear:

Both of us are lying. One of us is dangerous…

Fans of The Housemaid, The Perfect Marriage and Gone Girl will absolutely love Keep Me Safe.

Not good

I could not get into this story or the characters. I listen to 2 audio books a month and I could not get past the first couple hours of this one.
