Latest listen: Clare Mackintosh's I Let You Go, narrated by Nicola Barber and Steven Crossley.
You know how every thriller gets compared to Gone Girl and/or The Girl on the Train? I think this is one that belongs in their company. The author here pulls off more than one astonishing twist that I never saw coming, all the while playing strictly fair with the reader. After one twist, I was so flummoxed that actually went back to relisten to earlier passages to see how the author had set it up.
I strongly suggest that anyone planning on reading this one AVOID REVIEWS; you don't want to encounter any spoilers or get a sense of how the plot evolves.
The narrators are good, especially Steven Crossley. While her performance is fine, I initially didn't care for Nicola Barber's voice but then got used to it.
I highly recommend this one. Remember, keep away from the reviews!
