Colette McBeth’s four standalone novels each build a psychological thriller around a different set of characters and relationships. Precious Thing examines a friendship that has become dangerously obsessive. The Life I Left Behind connects two women through an attack that happened years earlier. An Act of Silence follows a politician whose past catches up with her.
Published between 2013 and 2019, the books show McBeth refining her approach to suspense across four outings. Her journalism background shows in the precision of her plotting and her interest in how people present one face to the world while hiding another.
