It's true that twenty years ago she left.  Amy Brewer had been with five "friends" at a party when she became fed up with the way she was being treated, so she left. Shortly afterward, all five friends were dead.  Now, twenty years later the case remains unsolved and Amy and nine others have received a journalist's invitation to meet at a remote location to discuss the case. All ten supposedly have connections to the victims.  

Very quickly it becomes evident the journalist was not the one who issued the invitations. Then one by one, people start dying.  Amy, now an FBI Special Agent, has narrowly missed becoming a victim once before.  Has her luck run out?

SHE LEFT, by Stacie Grey, is a well-plotted and complex psychological thriller. The author deftly handles the large cast of characters.  They are about as varied a group as one can gather together in one place.  To complicate matters, on the surface, none seem to have any concrete information about the murders, nor any obvious motives.  Added to the mix is that they are suspicious of each other.  It doesn't help that all their car keys and phones have been taken.  Then a powerful storm hits casting an even larger cloud of gloom over them. Gradually, secrets are revealed and the danger intensifies.  Someone in this group knows what happened twenty years ago, but who?

SHE LEFT is an intense and engrossing story.  For those who enjoy a story that keeps you guessing right up to its conclusion, SHE LEFT is well worth reading.
