Ratings and reviews

THIS BOOK STARTED OFF VERY VERY SLOWLY. So slowly, I began to wonder if this novel was a thriller at ALL, let alone the “STUNNING THRILLER” I’d been promised. And then, I reached page 163. You know how it takes just a second for a book to turn itself around and suddenly, all your expectations get thrown out the window and you’re scrambling to see what you missed? Well, that was what happened to me on page 163 of I Let You Go. The rest of my reading experience was something I can call frantic; in the car on the way to work, on the steps up to the office, on the way back, in the washroom and until 12 a.m. last night – I HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. And if that doesn’t tell you that this book WAS the “STUNNING THRILLER” it promises, I don’t know what will. “I was stupid to think I could escape the past. However fast I run, however far: I will never outrun it.” Told through multiple points of view – the police investigating the brutal hit and run of a five year old boy, Jenna Gray who, in her grief, runs away from everyone and everything she knew and Ian Peterson – I Let You Go manages to be heart-breaking while also keeping you at the edge of your seat. It truly reminded me of Gone Girl in a way that nothing ever has before, and I LOVED every bit of the movie (I haven’t read the book. Yet.) Honestly, a huge thank you to Hachette India for sending me a copy because I’m not sure I would have picked this book up otherwise. I should really read more thrillers. A brilliantly told book that will have you on the edge of your seat, desperate for more, even while you’re reading the book! 4.5 Stars!

This book had me gripped. A compelling plot, often very uncomfortable to read. But such strong characters and two clever twists - one I suspected, but which wasn't confirmed until the last few pages.

I LET YOU GO. A Tragic accident. A past you can't escape. Review my first ever this is really daunting.... I dare not let to much on.....this book is amazing a MUST to read a MUST to buy Clare Mackintosh is an amazing writer I was glued from page one I felt for both caracters Anya and Jenna but has he gone for good???? Jennifer......she hears a wisper in the distance your safe Jenna says the docter he's gone but has he really that is the ? The best physiological thriller I've ever read, it keeps you thinking to the end, lots of twists and turns is Jenna GUILTY or INNOCENT there is danger in this book do not STOP reading unputdownable an addictive read. This story needs to be continued...... you left us on a cliffhanger Clare Mackintosh I'm sure the world wants more you had me in tears I see a story continuation here. This is way better than Gone Girl, This should be made into a movie Keep the words rolling your the best Suzanne Valiantis
