I Let You Go is a remarkable debut novel. It opens with the death of a 5-year old child by a hit-and- run driver. The mother's grief is palpable and evident throughout the first half of the book. The surprise comes at the very end of the first half after the reader has followed Jenna Gray as she settles into a new life in Wales with few possessions and no acquaintances. The novel also follows the police as they attempt to piece together the few clues leading to the driver. The lead detective is torn between his career and his family life, and begins to be emotionally involved with a fellow detective. It is told in alternating chapters of first and third persons with well-developed characters and surprising revelations
