About this deal

Jenna continues to obstruct her past from Patrick, but one day two police officers knocking on the door of her sanctuary in Wales ensures that her awful secret must come to light.

Ian’s body has not yet been recovered, and Jenna catches a glimpse of what she fears might be writing in the sand; writing that could only be from Ian. I had wanted to produce something real, something as far from perfection as it was possible to get, and yet for it still to be beautiful. The characters in the book I thought were excellent, I felt I could relate to each of them as if I was there with them, in the story, including the peripheral characters as well. I love connecting with my readers, and there are plenty of ways you can get a sneak peek at what's going on behind the scenes. The wooden floor is stained from the lumps of clay that drop from my wheel, firmly placed in the center of the room, where I can move around it and stand back to view my work with a critical eye.

Jenna’s husband’s voice does not make an entry in later in the novel but Mackintosh does this for strategic plot reasons. Instead consider keeping this information to yourself until your book club meet in person, and you can then share the page – perhaps after you have all debated the ending. But gee-whiz, she has the thriller writing chops, she could have used that skill a tiny bit at the beginning.

Escaping her marriage and past hurts, Jenna finds solace in an isolated and cold stone cottage in Penfach.

The curtains, bought to match the cushions; the artwork, some of my own, some I found in galleries and loved too much to leave behind. They wiped their feet and walked up the narrow hallway, pushing past an overloaded coat rack, beneath which sat a pair of child’s red wellies, neatly placed beside an adult pair.

Her little boy dies - yet within three months she is "feeling alive" drawing her name in the sand, taking photos with her camera on the beach. On a rainy afternoon, a mother's life is shattered as her son slips from her grip and runs into the street. This is a very well written book by Clare Mackintosh who knows how to snap out a good ol' "gotcha" from the darkness underneath those stairs of your guarded mind. Leaning forward to find a marker pen in his chaotic top drawer, Ray crouched down and changed the label to “Detective. This scene in particular hit a little too close to home for me, as the victim of the hit and run is the same age as my own son.The opening to this book is a gut wrenching one, as the reader becomes the witness to a heartless hit and run accident. Wow, I read 2 of Clare Mackintosh's books before reading this, her first one, and although I expected a twist, this one completely floored me.

They visit the refuge centre and speak to someone who can shed a light on the situation between Jenna and Ian. Finally a book actually worthy of its Gone Girl comparison- it is full of incredibly well crafted twists. It turns out following an art exhibition of Jenna's art Ian, once again, becomes jealous of who Jenna is talking too. I was momentarily disoriented as I went back to reread the paragraph a couple of times before I was convinced that what I thought I had read was indeed what I did read. Perhaps it has also set on her paranoia; perhaps she has turned resolutely away from the imagined writing in the sand, with newfound resolve to put her past behind her.This develops into a continued relationship between the two of them where they do finally get married. Reading a little about the author and her background in the police force for many years, this story germinated from an actual real life hit and run accident of a nine year old boy. The plot wasn't really exciting and then they were other small reveals throughout the story which were so predictable or just unnecessary, like the bit where it turns out Jacob was Ian's son just seemed so pointless and was only thrown in for shock value. I have found myself becoming less and less tolerant of that situation, and stories that spotlight that angle have become much less attractive to me. If you can’t get I Let You Go out of your head, don’t miss Clare Mackintosh’s stunning new thrillers The Last Party and A Game of Lies, featuring the unforgettable DC Ffion Morgan.
