I Let You Go

Product Information

Finally, when Annie’s baby girl enters the world, Rimmer helps us see how a new baby fits into the fold.

Characters isolate themselves and show terrible judgment as they each try to cope with their individual burdens. A columnist for Cotswold Life , she is the founder of Chipping Norton Literary Festival and lives in North Wales with her family. Vivid storytelling with persuasive characters and a schemingly intelligent narrative - and one prize-winning plot-twist ― S.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. The most wonderful characterisation in Janet - such a flawed, tormented, soulful creature that I could not help but root for. Perfect for readers of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train and fans of TV dramas like The Missing, lose yourself in I Let You Go , the tense, twisty, emotionally compelling psychological thriller that everyone is talking about. One of the reviews on the book’s inside cover states that I LET YOU GO “[w]ill actually make you gasp out loud.

She finds me another tissue, crumpled but clean, and turns the page of her newspaper to read about the Clifton Christmas lights switch-on. They visit the refuge centre and speak to someone who can shed a light on the situation between Jenna and Ian. I Let You Go is told from a number of viewpoints, from Jenna, a sculptor making a new life for herself in Penfach, through to police officers Ray and Kate, to Jenna’s husband. When Annie’s newborn baby is in danger of being placed in foster care, Annie phones to beg her sister for help.At some point right before the book changes gears (and trust me, you’ll know when this is happening), I did find myself wondering what this story was marching along towards. The garden isn’t large, but winter is on its way, and by the time I reach the other side I can’t feel my toes.

To me, Part Two felt like a giant game of Jenga, with Mackintosh calculatingly removing block after block, watching her characters (and her readers) wobble this way and that. One side of the tent was open, and inside they could see a crime scene investigator on her hands and knees, swabbing at something unseen. Stevens and Kate give the boy's mother assurances that they will find the killer, but they have had months with no leads. As Ray and Kate drew near to the scene they were stopped by a young PC, his fluorescent jacket zipped so high Ray could barely make out a face between the peak of his hat and his collar.

I’m not sure how many days have passed since the accident, or how I have moved through the week when I feel as though I’m dragging my legs through molasses. Jenna’s husband’s voice does not make an entry in later in the novel but Mackintosh does this for strategic plot reasons. In addition to Kate, Stumpy’s team included the steady Malcolm Johnson and young Dave Hillsdon, an enthusiastic but maverick DC, whose determined efforts to secure convictions sailed a little too close to the wind for Ray’s liking. You feel the anxiety that situations induce in her yet she also has humour even if it’s the self deprecating kind.
