Media Reviews
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
