My Review

I listened to the audiobook of Nowhere Safe, by Kate Bold, and narrated by Reagan Tankersley. Nowhere Safe is book 1 in A Harley Cole Mystery series. Bold has written a true to form crime mystery, but I’m not sure a male narrator was the best choice for this female protagonist’s tale. Although Tankersley’s reading is done quite well, adaquate in every way, but I felt it was harder to relate with the female character when read by a male voice, and Tankerly’s voice is a deep male voice.

FBI agent Harley Cole, denies she’s in crisis when she’s put on leave from her job, her relationship ends abruptly, and she learns that her father is dying and she must return to the home town she’s tried so desperately to escape. At first, helping out the local law enforcement when a series of young girls are found terrorized and murdered is just a diversion, to avoid confronting her dying father, but it stirs memories of her missing sister, and all the reasons that she has stayed away. Can Harley put her personal troubles aside to make amends wirth her father and save the next victim from a terrifying fate in time? No spoilers here. You’ll have to read the book and find out.

A perfectly shaped crime mystery with distinctive characters, brought to life by a skilled and talented narration. I give No Where Safe four quills.
