I often find narratives from different perspectives frustrating, but in I Let You Go the balance between Jenna’s first person story and the third person elements relating to Ray and Kate works seamlessly. Clare Mackintosh cleverly manipulated both plot and reader under her title so that there are moments of revelation and surprise that feel perfect. The title I Let You Go is so apposite because it could relate to the relationships Jenna has, the police and their investigations and various elements of the plot about which I can’t really comment without spoilers. I thought Clare Mackintosh’s story was brilliantly constructed and I’m only sorry that this is my first reading of one of her books. The plot is cleverly constructed and although I guessed some of the twists, others blindsided me with their cleverness. There’s an intensity and menace from the start that doesn’t abate throughout. I found I Let You Go a completely absorbing and entertaining narrative that held me gripped throughout. On one evening for Jenna, events will spiral out of control affecting the rest of her life. But her past is about to catch up with her, and the consequences will be devastating. Slowly, Jenna begins to glimpse the potential for happiness in her future.
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. Her only hope of moving on is to walk away from everything she knows to start afresh.
In a split second, Jenna Gray’s world descends into a nightmare. Published by Little Brown imprint Sphere, I Let You Go is available for purchase through these links. I’ll be interested to discover what they all thought of it on Monday but I’m sharing my views today! One of the authors I’ve been meaning to read since I began blogging is Clare Mackintosh and I have a couple of her books lurking on my TBR pile, so I was delighted when her psychological thriller I Let You Go turned out to be the choice for the U3A book group to which I belong.
