Linda R is not totally accurate. A multi engine is usually always a complex class aircraft, but that because of the landing gear and the propeller. And it's that feature that makes a twin harder to fly, but there are single engine complex aircraft also. Common twin-engine airplanes with counter rotating props have no p-factor making it actually easier to fly than a single engine.
Chuck is incorrect in his answer. An engine is an engine and the same lessness goes wrong in a twin. And a twin also becomes a glider if both engines quit. And feathering a propeller is not hard, you just pull a lever. And you don't have to feather the propeller. Feathering only reduces drag. If you're at 10,000 feet and an engine fails, and you don't feather the propeller, your climb performance is reduced but it doesn't mean you'll crash.
eferrell's answer is good. and fit more with the facts.
But there is a factor to consider. If you're flying in IMC conditions or above a heavy cloud layer, which would you rather be in? A twin engine or a single engine? In a single engine, if the engine quits, you're going down, period. And in IMC that can be dangerous.
In a twin, you can still fly if one on your engines quit. Although climb performance is dramatically reduce, you can usually at least maintain your altitude and can make it to an airport to land safely.
So my answer is: All planes are safe, but a twin engine adds redundancy and two is always better than one. Plus twin's fly faster and when you get somehwere quicker, you reduce the time in which things can go wrong.
