I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
A tragic accident. It all happened so quickly. She couldn't have prevented it. Could she? In a split second, Jenna Gray's world descends into a nightmare. Her only hope of moving on is to walk away from everything she knows to start afresh. Desperate to escape, Jenna moves to a remote cottage on the Welsh coast, but she is haunted by her fears, her grief and her memories of a cruel November night that changed her life forever. Slowly, Jenna begins to glimpse the potential for happiness in her future. But her past is about to catch up with her, and the consequences will be devastating ...
A terrific, compelling read with an astonishing twist that floored meI loved it and did not want it to end Peter James A hugely assured and gripping debut and a twist that made me green with envy Mark Billingham With its authentic voices, switchback twists and delicate character studies, this is a rewarding read from a writer with a real understanding of what makes a gripping crime novel Sarah Hilary I read I Let You Go in two sittings; it made me cry (at least twice), made me gasp out loud (once) and above all made me wish I'd written it. Absorbing, authentic and deeply unsettling: a stellar achievement, and so deliciously clever Elizabeth Haynes A superb debut, Clare Mackintosh writes eloquently about grief, guilt and fear and delivers some shocking twists Cath Staincliffe A heart-wrenchingly emotional psychological thriller with stunning twists and turns. Deft and seamless, it pulls you in from page one and doesn't let you go Julie Cohen Page-turning, utterly convincing, unputdownable. The twists kept me guessing until the riveting, satisfying conclusion Julia Crouch A disturbing, page-turning thriller that barely loosens its grip Paula Daly I Let You Go is a chilling tale with characters that are so well drawn, you can feel their pleasure and pain on each step of the journey. I was hooked from the brilliant start to the unexpected finish. Rachel Abbott Absolutely brilliant - I ripped through it Jenny Colgan I Let You Go is a clever, compelling and deftly plotted book packed full of tension, superb characterisation and tight storytelling. I loved it Amanda Jennings Such an accomplished debut - tautly plotted, emotionally engaging and with twists I genuinely didn't see coming Veronica Henry From the chilling and tragic opening, to the very last page, I literally couldn't read fast enough. The writing is captivating, and the narrative addictive. With one thrill after another, a sense of menace and fear hanging heavy throughout and a cracking ending that I won't forget for a long time Samantha Hayes A disturbing thriller that barely loosens its grip Paula Daly Extraordinarily atmospheric, Mackintosh's emotional debut doesn't miss a beat Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls I Let You Go crackles with tension from the opening pages and doesn't let go of its grip on you until the very end. Intricate plotting and compelling characterisation combine to make what is sure to be one of the psychological thrillers of the year Hannah Beckerman
