Things reviewers said about No Safe Place - '.an excellent achievement.' Terry O'Connor, Australian Book Review '.a well-told tale of actions and consequences.' The Canberra Times '.a subtle, nuanced story about the difficulties of ever really knowing the truth, highlighted by a poignant, melancholy narrative.' American Library Association 'The humour augurs well for the novel which ventures into the minefield of sex and power without the protection of a fixed ideological viewpoint.' Liz Parer, The Sunday Age 'Here we have, par excellence, both a woman in a man's world and an unreliable narrator dealing with the question of moral responsiblity.' Bronwen Levy, Campus Review Weekly 'MacColl has the knack of spinning a yarn and of dealing with complex moral issues without didacticism.' Penelope Layland, The Canberra Times '.a polished stone of enduring value.' Terry O'Connor, Australian Book Review '.delighted by No Safe Place.' Australian Bookseller and Publisher 'Face up on the wet floor, in the narrow beam of the torch, inches from their feet, was a human skull, part-buried in the earth. It was dull grey and porous with eye sockets and nasal chambers that twitched in the flickering light like a conversation. It was asking for something. Harriet couldn't stop looking at it.' In a secret chamber uncovered by a fire that nearly destroys the nineteenth-century chapel at Archangels University, architect Harriet Darling finds a skull. The police have a body and murderer in mind, and on campus, rumours are rife. But Harriet wants to save the chapel from further harm, and she has ideas of her own. She has a blue rosary and a Black Madonna, and they take her back, to a girls' school, a powerful nun, and a time of innocence lost and found. What starts as a mystery about a skull becomes a journey to faith. Along the way Harriet has to trust herself and the world and the risks are great. If she fails, she loses not only the chapel but also the place in her own heart where something good can grow. A murder mystery, a romance and an emotional journey that spans the twentieth century, Angels In The Architecture is about the nature of innocence and the triumph of love over hate.
