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
Exceptional...so beautifully written and a gripping story
