I Let You Go: The Richard & Judy Bestseller

Product Information

If you can’t get I Let You Go out of your head, don’t miss Clare Mackintosh’s stunning new thrillers The Last Party and A Game of Lies, featuring the unforgettable DC Ffion Morgan. The opening to this book is a gut wrenching one, as the reader becomes the witness to a heartless hit and run accident.

If it's general chit chat you're after, please do follow me on Instagram, where I go to avoid writing, and to share snippets of my life in rural Wales, complete with teenagers, dogs and Pete the goat.

If you disregard my suggestion, please don't read my spoiler-tagged portion because it will spoil the book for you.

Jenna taking off to a remote location and starting over was great to read about as she met new people and tried to build a new life. The detectives were so boring, I hated when it switched back to Ray, I much preferred Jenna's narrative.This psychological thriller had me captivated and I really was unable to put it down until I finished it. I and other readers who have done this need not worry, as Clare Mackintosh’s two releases are completely different tales. Hundreds of separate pieces, yet if I shut my eyes, I can still feel the shape of each one beneath my fingers, the wetness of the clay on my palms.

With a very subtle underlying current of 'something brewing' (that might be construed as slow going) there's another unexpected tragedy, a shocker of a twist, heartrending grief, fear, nightmares, and a door that won't lock. I absolutely refuse to spoil the twists found in Part Two, so I’m going to keep my Part Two praise limited to generalities. They parked the car a hundred meters away from a large white tent, erected in an attempt to protect from the rain whatever evidence might have been left.Using the same words at the end of I LET YOU GO is a gentle reminder that, although it is Jenna’s story we have followed throughout this novel, at its heart is a five year old boy who lost his life. I'm NOT giving out a spoiler, not even a tiny one, because this is one of those books you need to find out for yourself. I want to fix an image of him in my head, but all I can see when I close my eyes is his body, still and lifeless in my arms. Jenna is a character who is clearly flawed, but I felt drawn to her and her subsequent healing process.
