Reviews
" The Life I Left Behind is a rare thing; a well-paced, meticulously-researched thriller which is not just gripping but compassionate, too. McBeth's characters are three-dimensional, their motives psychologically convincing, and this includes the victims: much more than mere bodies on a slab, they are real and much-beloved characters with families and friends to mourn them." -- Paula Hawkins, author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Girl on the Train "Colette McBeth digs deep into a childhood friendship that goes dangerously awry. What happens next will chill you to the bone. Precious Thing will make you wonder about your own friends...and whether they just might be your worst enemies." -- Tess Gerritsen "[A] haunting first novel...McBeth imbues her characters with layers upon hidden layers, keeping readers guessing until the end." -- Publishers Weekly "[A] spellbinding thriller." -- Kirkus "Friendship, betrayal and secrets too big to bear: a book to race through, breathless, in a sitting." -- Alex Marwood "Keep your eyes peeled this summer for an astonishing new talent in the form of hack-turned-novelist Colette McBeth...Gone Girl but with a Brit voice." -- David Mark "An excellent debut, well-written, gripping and tense which skillfully weaves an unfolding nightmare with a dark past." -- Cath Staincliffe, [A] haunting first novel...McBeth imbues her characters with layers upon hidden layers, keeping readers guessing until the end., The Life I Left Behind is a rare thing; a well-paced, meticulously-researched thriller which is not just gripping but compassionate, too.

Synopsis
Six years ago, Melody Pieterson was attacked and left for dead. Only a chance encounter with a dog walker saved her life. Melody's neighbor and close friend David Alden was found guilty of the crime and imprisoned, and the attack and David's betrayal of her friendship left Melody a different person. She no longer trusts her own judgment, she no longer trusts her friends. In fact, she no longer really has any friends. She's built a life behind walls and gates and security codes; she's cloistered herself away from the world almost entirely. And then, soon after David is released from prison, Eve Elliot is murdered in an attack almost identical to Melody's. With the start of a new police investigation, Melody is suddenly pulled from her ordered, secluded life and back into the messy world around her. But as she learns more about Eve's murder, Melody starts to wonder if perhaps David hadn't betrayed her after all...if perhaps the killer is someone else entirely, someone who's still out there, preparing to strike again. Narrated alternately by Melody and by Eve's lingering ghost, The Life I Left Behind is a taut thriller and an intimate look at two young women bound together in ways neither of them could ever have predicted. Colette McBeth has proven once again that she is a master of suspense.

- h***l (90)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was really excited to get this collection! It's such a large series that buying it individually on my own would have been a real pain. So built in value right there. The seller took a little while but stayed within the promised shipping time frame. Shipping was quite reasonable considering it was a box with 22 books. The books themselves were in good condition, just as described. The seller was very good about communication. I would highly recommend this store and will be a return shopper!
- a***a (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOrdered the entire Bosch series. Seller was missing one of the books upon order. They were very receptive and open with communication. They did ship it accordingly when they received it as promised. Upon delivery, I was missing a second book. Again, seller was great and quick to response and Sent me the missing book. I was able to obtain the complete order. Very happy. Would recommend. Would buy again.
- a***9 (160)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMain set has arrived safely and sound. Per our conversation, the single from a 3rd source has not yet arrived. Items are as described, good condition, clean. Very happy with communication and quality. As per third photo, do you by any chance have The Black Stallion's Shadow and The Black Stallion's Steeple-Chaser? If so, I would be interested in acquiring those from you, also.
