Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,853
Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she’d rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter’s musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement.

Beth and Cath are leaving their husbands. This is a story about two very different women. One is wealthy and having an affair with a man who gives her the kind of love that her cold, detached husband does not. One is living hand to mouth, suffering at the hands of a violent partner who would rather see her dead than leave him. You may think you know these women already and how their lives will unfold. Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate. Cath will go back to her abusive husband. And these two women will never cross paths. But you will be wrong.

I really like the characters in the three books in this series I have read so far. The detective is honest, believable and I like the mix of business and personal life. Great narrator as well. Fits the character.

Excellent addition to the Bosch series
Reviewed: 06-17-20
After watching all 6 seasons of the Bosh series ( Michael Connelly is very involved in the TV adaption which is one reason it is so terrific I believe) Titus Welliver is Bosch for me. So I love the narration. I read some of the earlier books years ago and enjoyed them but Welliver has brought Bosch back alive for me. Harry Bosch in the books is still the same older Bosch as before. (he is younger in the series). This book keeps your interest with the two plot lines and moves fast. Loved it and onto the next in the series. Highly recommended!

Bittersweet
Reviewed: 09-30-17
This book is different. The story draws you in. I was not sure what to expect but tried due to the good reviews. I am glad I did. There is sadness but it is handled well. Alyssa has a good voice. It took me a bit to get used to the way she ends her sentences quickly but either I got used to it or it lessened a bit and it became the character. I do think as we got to know Naomi she softened a bit. One reviewer said it wasn't great literature, I was not looking for Nabakov. I wanted a story I could enjoy, well-written and characters I could care about. I got all of that in this book. It could indeed be a good series. Glad I found it.

Excellent debut novel
Reviewed: 10-02-16
Would you listen to I Let You Go again? Why?
Yes. I had sympathy for the main character and liked her. Later I understood why she was so anxious. I also like good British police procedurals.
Have you listened to any of Nicola Barber and Steven Crossley ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Any additional comments?
A great first book. I love that it was written by a real police officer/inspector I believe. It did have some twists. Good escape. The detectives in the book are characters the author can develop with each book as other writers of similar genre have done in the past. Room to grow. I would read the next book.

When she was 18 years old, Carolyn Jessop was coerced into an arranged marriage with a total stranger - a man 32 years her senior. Merril Jessop already had three wives. But arranged plural marriages were an integral part of Carolyn's heritage: She was born into and raised in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church.

An Amazing Personal Story
Reviewed: 04-02-08
Carolyn Jessup does an incredible job of telling this stunning and shocking story. She is so personal and present as she describes her life in the FLDS cult. I had been reading Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner Of Heaven and could not finish it because it was so upsetting though I will pick it up again after this. (He does the best research and is so through). Carolyn personalizes her story in a way that holds your attention and you hope for her future and the future of her children. I admire her so much. What can we do? A must read.

When a woman turns up drowned on the grounds of a royal estate, Sergeant Keen Dunliffe of Leeds, West Yorkshire, is hoping it's just a case of a drunken skinny-dipping accident. But when the woman turns out to be a historian, whose specialty is eighteenth-century English royalty and politics, and who was attending a conference at a local university, it's too much of a public relations nightmare to take lightly.

Reviewed: 12-25-07
There are a number of characters and all the different "bad guys" can get confusing but overall this was a very enjoyable book. Keen Dunliffe, the disgraced Yorkshire copper, is a very appealing character. Flawed, but honorable by his own lights, he makes a good foil for the rather uptight American history professor. Narrator Ralph Cosham offers a superb range of accents and characterizations.
