Description from Goodreads:
"There’s no one more deadly than the killer you know.
A man is found brutally stabbed and left for dead.
A young woman is killed in a frenzied attack in the middle of the night on a quiet residential road.
Detective Liz Field is brought in to lead the investigation. The first victim was a well-respected child psychologist. The second victim was once his patient. But that was fifteen years ago. Why is someone targeting them now?
Field is under pressure not just from the top. There are those who would happily see her fail if it means they can take her place. Something about this case feels too close to home.
And the killer is escalating.
Field is in a race against time to solve the case and confront her own buried past – before the they strike again."

What a great debut and with this being the first in a series, there is more to come.
A child psychologist is murdered and the first page from a study he did 15 years ago was found with his body. Why? When the body of one of his patients from that study is found with another page from the original study also being found at the scene, Detective Field has an intriguing case on her hands and one that she must solve before there's another victim but is the murderer one of the study subjects or is it someone unconnected but he is a respected psychologist so why?
Full of great characters, twists and turns and all written at a good pace, this is a really good thriller but what makes this stand out for me is the way the author incorporated the mental health condition of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). I have some knowledge of this condition from my work and I felt the author dealt with it with compassion and whilst she revealed her own diagnosis at the end, there has clearly been a lot of research undertaken. This added another layer to the story.
No Safe Place is a great start to a new series and I am very much looking forward to the next in the series and many thanks to the author, Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling me to read this excellent debut.
