About this listen

When Alice Salmon died last year, the ripples were felt in the news, on the Internet, and in the hearts of those who knew her best.

But the person who knows her most intimately isn't family or a friend. Professor Jeremy Cooke is an academic whose life has become about piecing together Alice's existence in all its flawed and truthful reality.

For Cooke, faithfully recreating Alice's life - through her diaries, emails, and anything using her voice - is all consuming. He does not know how deep his search will take him or the shocking nature of what he will uncover.

If you could sum up What She Left in three words, what would they be?

Enthralling, tantalising and intelligent

Any additional comments?

A genuinely enthralling listen that is intelligently written and told with conviction by its cast. It builds on a fascinating premise to deliver a novel that is a fit for our time. Anyone who is a recent graduate, is an avid user of social media and wants a enticing day job that gives you a true sense of satisfaction will enjoy What She Left. We can all draw parallels with Alice and we all know a Jeremy, or at least a pedant.

A gripping 'of our time' read

A story based on social media posts. I thought this was a great idea, but was a bit confusing at times. Some of the narrators were excellent. It is important to listen to the dates of each part as it jumps around quite a lot. I felt the author added too many unnecessary words to some parts, which is why I have only given 3 stars. I think I was glad I chose it in audio format, the different characters were easier to imagine!

an unusual format but we'll worth sticking with - excellent narration performances from all concerned

I downloaded this initially as a friend had written it (I was so excited that I knew a suddenly famous author!). But the more I got into it, the more I was consumed by the story and the way it had been written.
It's unusually written, and I didn't know if I was going to like it at first as it jumped from articles to blogs and letters to Twitter, but it is staggeringly well-constructed and written.
The author also has an uncanny understanding of psychology, especially in young women!

A masterpiece!

Enjoyed the narrators. Story started well, but guessed who done it pretty early on, just didnt know the reason.

Great cast

I think if I had read this book I may have felt it was slow- but the dramatisation of it was superb and provided me with a gripping story that unfolded beautifully. My first T R Richmond and defiantly not my last!

Absolutely Fantastic Performancd

A story peopled by unlikeable characters including the tired cliché of a university professor who cheats on his wife with a younger woman. Alice comes across as an irritating petulant teenager and I really couldn’t bring myself to care for her. This is supposed to be based on the characters’ emails and Internet musings but I don’t believe they would really write in such a detailed and introspective way. A good idea perhaps, but it just didn't work for me.

Nothing of note
