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.”

Loved it!
"This was my first Clare Mackintosh book and I am glad I picked it up. Compared to a lot of other mystery books I have read, Mackintosh definitely includes more detail and description which I appreciated. I also liked the alternating chapters between the main character and the police. Looking forward to her other work!"

One of my favourites!
"I was recommended this book, as I really enjoy psychological thrillers, and I was not disappointed. This is a book that I constantly go back to and recommend. The twists and overall plot of this book is incredible, I could not put it down. I had to keep read it until I finished it. I am still to this day looking for books to read that even slightly come close to this one."

Must Read
"If you like physiological thrillers this is a must read. I found the general theme a bit hard at first, being that it involved the death of a child, but ones you start you cannot put it down. This books has one of my all time favourite twists as I have never been more shocked by a book before! Masterfully written as always!"
