For what it’s worth,” she said quietly, “I think you’ve made the right decision.” I wondered if she would have said the same if we’d asked to keep him alive, if she was simply giving us the validation we so needed to hear. I hope not, because in the years since I’ve clung to her words for reassurance.

Best book I’ve read this year, incredible story with a double twist, amazing, unforgettable and brilliant. You must read it– KD Throughout the tale, Jenna was constantly referring to her breathing: "I couldn't catch my breath", "my breathing became"..."I felt my breath.." 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.

It makes a good match for fans of Sophie Hannah and Erin Kelly.”— Library Journal(starred review) Not only I but more friends than I could have believed possible have read I Let You Go and loved it. Best book of 2015– Betty A storming psychological thriller that has everything: breathtaking twists, great pace and pitch-perfect characterisation. I Let You Go will squeeze your heart and punch you in the gut. What a debut! * Mark Edwards, author of The Magpies * While listening to this audiobook - during hikes, soaking in the pool, on car rides to the beach with Paul in the car...( even Paul figured out the ending - by only listening to parts of this book)....I kept thinking...."this is 2016, a contemporary story".... 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. Absorbing, authentic and deeply unsettling: a stellar achievement, and so deliciously clever * Elizabeth Haynes *

A terrific, compelling read with an astonishing twist that floored me. I loved it and did not want it to end * Peter James * I'm 'not' exaggerating, when I say there were so many references to "breathing", it became annoying. I know nothing about editing...but I would have caught the 'breathing' ( authors blind spot), repetitive phrases. But it drove me crazy. I almost started counting how many more times I'd have to hear Jenna talk about her breathing.

You clever boy," she says, stopping to kiss him fiercely on his damp forehead. "Will you show me when you get home?" This book doesn’t follow the typical recipe for stories of loss, combined with a thriller. There will come a point in the story where you will wonder what the hell is going on, asking yourself, “what did I miss?” Keep reading. What did I think?: This is one of the best books I've ever read and the authors ability to craft such a unique web of circumstances is truly an amazing thing. After this, I'd read anything she writes.
