Catriona McPherson Synopsis: As She Left It is a standalone novel by Catriona McPherson. When she was twelve years old, Opal Jones escaped her mother’s endless drinking. Now, returning home following her mother’s passing, Opal feels like she’s gone back in time. Nosey Mrs. Pickess is still polishing her windows beyond sparkling clean. Fishbo, Opal’s old music teacher, still plays trumpet with his band. And much to Opal’s delight, her favourite neighbor, Margaret Reid, still keeps an eye on things from the walk in front of her house. But a tragedy has struck Mote Street. Margaret’s grandson, Craig, disappeared some ten years ago, and every day he’s not found, shame and sorrow settle deeper into the neighbourhood’s forgotten corners. As the door she closed on her own dark past begins to open, Opal finds more secrets than she can bear about the people who were once her friends.
