One of the best books of the year (Sun)

This intriguing and twisty thriller kept me reading into the night (Woman & Home)

A creepy and clever thriller (Fabulous)

McBeth's is a much better realisation of the same theme [as The Lovely Bones] and, psychologically, by far the more interesting accomplishment (Independent)

If a more affecting psychological thriller is published this year, it will be a very good book indeed (Irish Times)

The Life I Left Behind is a rare thing; a well-paced, meticulously-researched thriller which is not just gripping but compassionate, too (Paula Hawkins, author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN)

Absolutely amazing. Grip-Lit of the highest order. Brilliant. (Marian Keyes)

'An interesting and original page-turner' (Literary Review)

Five years ago Melody Pieterson was attacked and left for dead.

She coped by burying the person she was, locking away her memories and creating a new life for herself. Her attacker is behind bars. In four weeks' time she will get married. She's almost normal.

Then the body of another woman is found, close to where Melody was discovered. Like her she has blond hair and green eyes. Like Melody police find a gold bird cage necklace at the scene. And Melody realises her attacker has been out there all along.
