With I Let You Go, Mackintosh has been redeemed in my eyes.



Artist, Jenna Gray, arrives in a small town on the Welsh Coast and hastily rents a remote cottage.

As with many unreliable narrators before her, she is clearly running from something, but what?



Chances are it is connected with the hit-and-run death of a child that the book opens with, but as a reader, you aren't sure of the connection to Jenna.

We then follow her as she settles into her new life and begins to find happiness in her newly discovered independence. Simultaneously, we follow intrepid police detectives continuing to work the hit-and-run case.



Slowly, the two storylines begin to merge and what is revealed projects the narrative into the stratosphere.

A new perspective is introduced and things rapidly start to come together.



I had a lot of fun with this one, although some of the subject matter was hard to read.

Trigger Warnings for: (view spoiler)[spousal abuse (physical and emotional) ON PAGE, death of a child, and miscarriage caused by violence. (hide spoiler)]

Overall, I loved the atmosphere, the mystery was strong, as well as the police procedural aspects of the story. Jenna really grew on me over the course of the book and all in all, I did appreciate her character growth.



I would recommend this to the few thriller readers out there who have yet to pick it up. I feel like I was the last one, but there you go.



A quick read with a satisfying ending. What more could you ask for in these trying times?

Pick it up!
