About this listen

A tragic accident. It all happened so quickly. She couldn't have prevented it. Could she?

In a split second, Jenna Gray's world descends into a nightmare. Her only hope of moving on is to walk away from everything she knows to start afresh. Desperate to escape, Jenna moves to a remote cottage on the Welsh coast, but she is haunted by her fears, her grief, and her memories of a cruel November night that changed her life forever.

Slowly Jenna begins to glimpse the potential for happiness in her future. But her past is about to catch up with her, and the consequences will be devastating....

Plot twists!!

I love books like this, there are many plot twists and you can’t guess what is coming next. Just a warning to sensitive readers. There is a lot of adult themes, like assault and abuse, so I would recommend not reading if you are sensitive to that type of content.

Felt I'd read it before

If you could sum up I Let You Go in three words, what would they be?

Exciting but predictable,

What does David Thorpe and Julie Barrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I thought they both did a tremendous job of reading, but their inconsistent Welsh accents and pronunciation were a bit hit and miss, sorry.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The reunion with her sister

Irksome

Narrative is good , little slow to start but then grips the reader with surprising twists and turns
UK setting and accents are rich and appealing bringing the secondary characters to life.
Protagonist Ian is a wonderfully evil wicked psychopath. His counterpart , battered wife, Jennifer however, is so feeble and compliant, so weak and stupid that listening to her at times was very irksome - to say the least

What a bastard!

The story kept making me uncomfortable while I was lstening. Not because of the story.
