Mystery Police Procedural | Thriller | Suspense
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.
