From The Manufacturer

As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith Winters is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be—her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor’s guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister’s killer—only to discover that she’s the one being hunted. How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone’s a suspect—including herself? From the mind of Wall Street Journal bestselling author Christopher Greyson comes a story with twists and turns that take the reader to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop. Not since Girl on the Train and Gone Girl has a psychological thriller kept readers so addicted—and guessing right until the last page. “Christopher Greyson has created a thriller on par with The Girl on the Train, only with more suspects, more danger, and more agony for the young heroine.” — Killer Nashville “The plot turns come fast and furious… Sharp characters enmeshed in a mystery that, particularly in its final lap, is a gleefully dizzy ride.” — Kirkus Reviews “Greyson is a master of weaving suspense and keeping the reader guessing…” — NetGalley Review Christopher Greyson’s novels have been read by over a million readers and counting.

What reviewers liked

Sharp characters enmeshed in a mystery that, particularly in its final lap, is a gleefully dizzy ride.
A story with twists and turns that take the reader to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop.
Gold Medal Winner for Best Mystery/Thriller ebook of the Year -- 2018 Independent Publisher Book Awards
It was pretty well-plotted murder-mystery, with enough smokescreen and red-herrings for you to be invested in… And even if you guess the WHO in the whodunit early on (like I did), the WHY is still enough for you to keep flipping the pages.
It feels good to read a book that lives up to the promise of its cover, the accuracy of the genre in which one finds it, and delivers what the jacket blurb describes. The Girl Who Lived by Christopher Greyson does all that.

What reviewers didn't like

I would have liked it if the support groups and therapy sessions were shown in better light.
I think one character was unnecessary and once you read it you’ll understand or maybe you won’t. Some of the issues were glossed over and I really hope that readers who think books are “real” don’t take some of them by heart.
