Editorial reviews

Sunday Times best-selling I Let You Go is the debut novel written by Clare Mackintosh and is masterful in its creation, enormously talented in its writing and is an expertly narrated audiobook by voice actors David Thorpe and Julie Barrie. The very deepest of emotions surrounding the shock of a tragic accident are examined in this flawlessly constructed story. Listeners are absorbed entirely into the plot and are stunned with a twist at the end that could never have been predicted. Clare Mackintosh has taken the contemporary fiction genre by storm with this new release. Available now from Audible.

Publisher's summary

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....

Irksome

Narrative is good , little slow to start but then grips the reader with surprising twists and turns
UK setting and accents are rich and appealing bringing the secondary characters to life.
Protagonist Ian is a wonderfully evil wicked psychopath. His counterpart , battered wife, Jennifer however, is so feeble and compliant, so weak and stupid that listening to her at times was very irksome - to say the least

Felt I'd read it before

If you could sum up I Let You Go in three words, what would they be?

Exciting but predictable,

What does David Thorpe and Julie Barrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought they both did a tremendous job of reading, but their inconsistent Welsh accents and pronunciation were a bit hit and miss, sorry.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The reunion with her sister
