What She Left

Reviews / Votes

If you liked The Girl on the Train then I think you'll like this just as much, if not more -- Scott Pack What She Left is an extraordinary and bold creation -- Laura Wilson * Guardian * Every month brings another book billed the new Gone Girl, but we think we've found a winner * Marie Claire * A deliciously modern take on the psychological thriller ... a shifting, mesmerising, mysterious story ... very well-written and intelligently realised, occupying a territory half way between literary novel and thriller ... a memorable debut * Daily Telegraph * An absorbing, intricate and extremely original novel. It is also immensely clever and intriguing. It kept making me recall how I'd felt watching Twin Peaks. The kind of immediate shock and grief I felt for Laura Palmer was what I felt for Alice. The process of piecing together the heroine's life is so absorbing. I mourned her more and more powerfully as the story went on. What She Left is beautifully written and very emotionally involving. I hope that it garners all of the commercial and critical success it deserves -- Claire Kendal, author of The Book of You There are a million psychological thrillers out there right now, but this one stands out . . . Richmond keeps you guessing until the final pages in this compelling debut * Glamour * Strikingly modern * Sunday Times * A tight, clever, compelling story ... the reader must act as detective, rebuilding Alice Salmon from the digital footprint she leaves behind -- Paula Daly, author of Just What Kind of Mother Are You A clever, imaginative and entertaining attempt to immerse the whodunit in the world of social media -- Marcel Berlins, The Times An ingeniously original premise ... addictive * Sunday Express *
