The Life I Left Behind: A must-read taut and twisty psychological thriller
Formats & Editions
You know those books you feel jealous of everyone reading? This is one of those those. Read it. Savour it. Talk about it. Share it.
'The plot is taut and compelling, the writing excellent, but it's the exciting narrative structure that sets it apart - a three-strand storyline, one told by a woman who has already been murdered' (Marian Keyes Guardian)
Everyone tells her she's a survivor. No-one knows she's dead inside.
Six years ago Melody was left for dead. When the body of another woman, Eve, is discovered, Melody knows her attacker is still out there. The only way she can survive is to follow the clues of the life that Eve left behind.
