I Let You Go (Mackintosh) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
The big plot twist in Clare Mackintosh’s first novel, I Let You Go, is genuinely shocking. The jolts that follow, right up until the last page, are pretty good too...[a] cunning psychological thriller.
Marilyn Stasio - New York Times Book Review
 

An intense psychological thriller…[that] revels in surprises and twists…Outstanding.
Associated Press


Thrilling…a tense psychological thriller.
Real Simple
 

[An] accomplished debut.... Mackintosh easily shifts points of view and keeps readers on their toes, slowly upping the suspense, so that when she does reveal her twists they—mostly—work.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) [A] complex tale out of seemingly straightforward circumstances.... This UK best seller is a wonderfully layered thriller that skillfully builds from that one tragic event.... Highly recommended.  —Jane Jorgenson, Madison P.L., WI
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Mackintosh, a former U.K. deputy inspector, delivers an accurate portrayal of a typical police investigation.... [E]xcellent writing...memorable characters and a compelling portrayal of the eccentricities of small-town life....the kind of book that sticks in the reader's mind well after the final sentence.
