Publisher's Summary

Music and loud voices echo through the woods surrounding her. Wiping her tears, she hears the rustle of leaves close by. Footsteps. She has no time to scream before a hand covers her mouth and her entire world goes black.  

In a patch of forest on the outskirts of a small town, five teenage school friends prepare to spend a night away from home. Carrying their tents and sleeping bags, they laugh and joke as they make their way into the darkest part of the woods, away from prying eyes. But as the sun rises the following morning, only four are left alive. 

Devastated, Leah’s friends all swear they didn’t see or hear anything. Her best friend sobs as she recounts what she remembers from that night - dancing, roasting marshmallows, sipping warm cans of beer by the fire - but is it grief, or is she hiding something? What happened to Naomi in the hour that no one can account for? And what troubled past lies behind the perfect manners of the boy who organised the trip, and who is prepared to lie to keep it buried? 

As the cracks in their stories grow, it’s clear one of them is lying, and one of them is next....

Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter, and Clare Mackintosh, One Left Behind is a thrilling crime novel that will have you hooked!

An OK basic murder mystery

I'd listened to all of Carla Kovach's books, had really enjoyed them, but have listened to a couple of well known authors' series after that. To be brutally honest, they had a lot more substance and the thought I was listening to a Famous Five novel with this book crossed my mind! Too much rambling on from one of the main female characters, and I really hope Gina has put her worries to rest about her past...nothing can be proven, come to terms with it please! She was justified in her actions...sorry if I sound like a snob and even though the murderer was a surprise it fell a bit flat in my opinion 😒

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
