The scene switches from Jenna&#8217;s world to Ray&#8217;s (the Detective Inspector in charge of the hit and run case that resulted in the death of a boy). These two primary characters have their relationship problems (in their own worlds, not with each other). The setting switches from Bristol to a small Welsh village. There are a couple of big surprises in store.<\/p>\n<p>What I liked the most about this story was the authenticity with which the writer treated the police work. Her twelve years working in the British justice system shows &#8211; and all for the best in my opinion. Although I know the U.S. federal criminal justice system thoroughly, the British system is quite different, a difference I found fascinating at times.<\/p>\n<p>The ending is a bit too predictable and the characters just a tad too cliched for my taste, but all in all it was an engaging story that kept me wanting more. I listened to the CD audio version and enjoyed the accents. The actors, both male and female, are very good.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/12975428-russell-atkinson\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is told mostly in the first person, but not always from the same point of view.
