I Let You Go: The Richard & Judy Bestseller

Product Information

The policing aspect was a bit annoying, too many acronyms for me, and also the teaming of the DI and other detective on her way up was a bit forced. This book was still extremely enjoyable for me regardless of the twists; I always enjoy a book more if it can stand on its own without the gimmicks. Other times – well, other times there’s Clare Mackintosh’s I Let You Go, and from page one you’re asking yourself, where has this terrific book been all my life?

And the wonderful The kind worth killing by Peter Swanson - why don't more people know about that amazing book, a sort of re writing of strangers on a train. It’s a setup that leaves scant room for law enforcement officers or for Kyle Westergaard, the 12-year-old paperboy damaged since birth by fetal alcohol syndrome, who’s walked away from the wreck with a prize all too many people would kill for. Jenna taking off to a remote location and starting over was great to read about as she met new people and tried to build a new life. She rents a small house in Penfach, Wales and begins making money with beach photography; she rescues a dog and meets the kind and gentle Patrick Matthews. Not only did I see the the 'mystery-ending' very early into this novel- [I found it very predictable], but there was so much 'yuckiness' about this novel.According to her Goodreads profile, she spent twelve years in the police force, including time in the criminal investigations unit (CID). Went nowhere for quite some time; did have a little surprise close to the end; but other than that, i was disappointed.

Overall, this one gets kudos for originality, for tossing the formula writing out the window and for giving me a story that challenged me, which is just what I am always on the lookout for. A teenie bit slow in the middle, where I was rushing to get through it, just so I could move along to my next read. You might think you know what's happening and how the characters are involved, but in reality, you have no clue. I can actually understand the comparisons to Gone Girl because it has that same drawn out who even cares?Here’s what it’s about: after a tragic accident, Jenna Gray’s only hope is to start afresh—and in a tiny, remote Welsh village it seems possible, just for a moment, that she might be able to find a new life. Mackintosh, who worked for 12 years as a police officer, began writing full-time after leaving the force in 2011. I'm 'not' exaggerating, when I say there were so many references to "breathing", it became annoying.
