The next blockbuster thriller for those who loved"The Girl on the Train"and "Gone Girl..". a finely crafted novel with a killer twist. (Paula Hawkins, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Girl on the Train") "" "On a rainy afternoon, a mother's life is shattered as her son slips from her grip and runs into the street . . . " "I Let You Go" follows Jenna Gray as she moves to a ramshackle cottage on the remote Welsh coast, trying to escape the memory of the car accident that plays again and again in her mind and desperate to heal from the loss of her child and the rest of her painful past. At the same time, the novel tracks the pair of Bristol police investigators trying to get to the bottom of this hit-and-run. As they chase down one hopeless lead after another, they find themselves as drawn to each other as they are to the frustrating, twist-filled case before them. Elizabeth Haynes, author of "Into the Darkest Corner," says, I read" I Let You Go" in two sittings; it made me cry (at least twice), made me gasp out loud (once), and above all made me wish I'd written it . . . a stellar achievement. *Peter James, author of "Want You Dead" "From the Hardcover edition.""

On a rainy December afternoon in Bristol, England a five-year-old boy is the victim of a hit-and-run.
The car backs up and speeds away leaving a mother wailing in the street.
Jenna Gray just has to get away. She flees to a remote cottage outside of Penfach, a small village on the Welsh coast.
She wants to escape the nightmares of the accident playing over and over in her head and to deal with the grief of losing her son.
Also to try and put a troubled past behind her.
Back in Bristol, Detective Inspector Ray Stevens and Detective Constable Kate Evans work the case of the hit-and-run.
The follow fruitless lead after hopeless lead on the twisting case. Even months later when they are told to close the case they continue to work it on their own time. They are tenacious.
Then there's Ian Peterson. Don't even get me started on that sick bastard.
This is one of the most twist-filled stories that I've ever read.
There is a nicely-paced build up to the end of Part 1. That's were you receive a jaw dropper.
There have been hints along the way but you have to pay really close attention. Sometimes even to the punctuation. Say a semi-colon instead of a comma.
Ms. Mackintosh's deft writing kept me second guessing myself the whole way. Brilliant!
After that, it's unputdownable. A headlong rush into shocks and twists that lead to an ending that will knock the wind out of you.
