THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Crime Novels of 2016!

The next blockbuster thriller for those who loved The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl...“a finely crafted novel with a killer twist.”(#1 New York Times bestselling author Paula Hawkins)

On a rainy afternoon, a mother's life is shattered as her son slips from her grip and runs into the street...

I Let You Go follows Jenna Gray as she moves to a ramshackle cottage on the remote Welsh coast, trying to escape the memory of the car accident that plays again and again in her mind and desperate to heal from the loss of her child and the rest of her painful past.

At the same time, the novel tracks the pair of Bristol police investigators trying to get to the bottom of this hit-and-run. As they chase down one hopeless lead after another, they find themselves as drawn to each other as they are to the frustrating, twist-filled case before them. Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner, says, “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...a stellar achievement.” Crime Thrillers Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Psychological Thriller Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Crime Suspense

This book had me completely enthralled in every word. Horrifying and captivating I could see every word perfectly as though a movie played in my head. Clare Macintosh has sped her way up the top of my fave writers list with this mind blowing book.
Amazing.

gosh, I laughed at Ian. what a tool! lol the narrator for it did an amazing job. I found from chapter 2 to 20 the story was very flat! nothing was happening. maybe it could be been a shorter story. From chapter 22, I couldn't stop listening to it. I'm glad o didnt give up.

Great job

The 1st half of this book had me wondering what type of novel I was listening to. I considered not finishing it. The 2nd half got better as it dealt more with the crime from the aspect of the 3 main characters. The performers were very good but all in all a fairly predictable plot that left several of the story lines incomplete and included a couple of key storyline flaws/ inconsistencies.

not a murder mystery more like a semi true crime
