Review: I Let You Go

I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I first read the author’s ‘I See You’ and found it a good light read and suspense novel. This book is well written as well.

An accident turns many lives upside down. A hit and run leads to the tragic death of a young 5 year old boy. The police effort is led by Ray and Kate, a junior who wants to make a mark for herself. Ray and his wife Mags have their hands full at home as well as the kids are growing up. Jenna Gray feels she needs to get away from all this. She moves to a remote place, Penfach, to start afresh. But can she overcome her grief and move on?

What caused the driver of the car to flee? Is this case something more than a straightforward hit and run?

The book brings together multiple threads very well, and they converge strongly at the end. While there were some unexpected twists in the storyline, there are also aspects of the story that I could sense.

Overall, a book which is quite fast paced for the most part (except the early sections) and is a relaxing read.
