April 15, 2016Last Friday/Saturday, my body battery ran down, and I kicked it back a few notches, vowing to give in to being tired and just take it easy. I reached for a book that I have been hearing a lot about, I LET YOU GO by Clare Mackintosh, which will be in stores on May 3rd. I see why it’s getting buzz; it has one of the most perfect twists that I have read. Here’s the plot: A young boy is killed by a hit-and-run driver as he is walking home from school with his mother. Who was behind the wheel? The action moves from page one and does not stop --- really fine plotting. When one is not moving like I was for those 48 hours, it’s wonderful when the storyline gallops away.
