Story
When Zoe Walker sees her photo in the classifieds section of a London newspaper, she is determined to find out why it's there. There's no explanation, no website - just a grainy image and a phone number. She takes it home to her family, who are convinced it's just someone who looks like Zoe. But the next day the advert shows a photo of a different woman, and another the day after that.Is it a mistake? A coincidence? Or is someone keeping track of every move they make?

The atmosphere on board the first non-stop flight from London to Sydney is electric. Celebrities are rumoured to be among the passengers in business class, and the world is watching the landmark journey.

But soon after the plane takes off, Mina receives a chilling anonymous note. Someone wants to make sure the plane never reaches its destination. They're demanding her cooperation...and they know exactly how to get it.

Fabulous debut!
Where does I Let You Go rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I found it difficult to put it down.
Any additional comments?
I am very much looking forward to more from this author. This book was highly compelling. Intelligently written, with great characters and rich context that gave me a real sense of being there with Jenna. Despite being brutal in its content, it was penned with a light touch. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant!
WOW! One of the best psychological thrillers I have listened to in ages. I can't actually believe this is a debut novel. The twists and surprises were jaw dropping. My emotions were all over the place with this one. I am not even going to go into any description of what the story is about for fear of spoiling it. Very cleverly written, the characters were all really excellent.
David Thorpe and Julie Barrie were both fantastic. Julie Barrie had me close to tears several times, while David Thorpe's sinister, evil voice felt truly threatening.
Loved it! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

An impressive first novel
I believe that this is the author's debut novel which makes this well-crafted narrative all the more impressive. It opens with the death of Jacob, a 5 year old, knocked down by a hit and run driver. The accident witnessed by his horrified mother. The main female character, Jenna, then disappears to a remote coastal village in Wales traumatised by the accident. Thereafter the story alternates between Jenna’s agonised recollections of the sight and sounds of the boy being hit by the car and the efforts of detective inspector, Ray, and his DC, Kate, as they try to trace the driver of the car. The two sets of characters are slowly fleshed out over 20 or so chapters with no progress over identifying the culprit. We learn of marital friction between Ray and his wife, the frustrations of police work; and Jenna’s tentative steps to make a new life for herself in Wales, but still haunted by the accident.
It would be a spoiler to give any more details, but around chapter 24, a year after the accident, the story is transformed as Jenna’s backstory starts to be revealed, including the existence of an estranged husband. From then on I was glued to my headphones eager to hear the next twist and turn of the story that rapidly gains momentum.
Don’t be put off by the seemingly slow start to the book. These early chapter get one involved with the characters and when the story took off it meant that I was really involved with their lives and cared what happened to them.
Having two narrators, a male and female, works well as both are able to modulate their voices to make the various characters sound life different people.

Slow start but good twists
I was struggling with the first part of this book, it seemed quite slow and a bit pointless, then I found out why and I settled in and enjoyed it. So my advice is stick with the scene setting and hold on for the surprises!

A gripping debut
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I have recommended this book to everyone I know. It is an amazing debut that I listened to at every available moment. My previous book of this year was 'Girl on the Train' but this was even better. I loved the Bristol/Wales settings and really felt that I was there in the middle of the story. The characterisation was excellent and believable and the twists were completely unexpected.
What was one of the most memorable moments of I Let You Go?
One of the twists which I really did not see coming.
What about David Thorpe and Julie Barrie ’s performance did you like?
Both readers were excellent. I love listening to audiobooks with multiple narrators.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were many shocking moments but they were done with empathy and not to shock gratuitously. I felt completely caught up in Jenna's story.

One word- boring!
I got to around hour five and still not much had happened! That's when I gave up. It endlessly describes the scenario and people's feelings and as a result the story just doesn't move along. The female narrator was irritatingly"wet". This one went back I'm afraid.

Stilted reader but enjoyable story
Unfortunately I found the male narrator rather stilted in his reading style, which spoiled this side of the story for me. His flat and final "he said"s reminded me of a child reading from a script at a school performance. Overall, despite the dark subject matter, this book felt more like "chick lit" with its predictable ending, but was nonetheless an enjoyable listen.

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

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?
