About this title

Review:

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)
