Critic reviews

Praise for Let Me Lie

“Shrewd, skillful.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Instant gratification grip-lit of the highest order.”—Metro

“Constantly surprising and very twisty.”—Shari Lapena

“Another one-more-chapter, stay-up-late sensation from Clare Mackintosh. No doubt about it now—she’s a major talent.”—Lee Child

“Clare Mackintosh has nailed it again. Let Me Lie is an emotional ride with fantastic twists.”—Fiona Barton, New York Times bestselling author of The Child

“Raced through Let Me Lie...inventive, twisting, and perfectly controlled.”—Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal

“Mackintosh’s three bar-raising psychological thrillers (starting with I Let You Go, 2016) have proven her adept at crafting compellingly flawed, authority-bucking characters and creating twists from the ripple effects of their relationships and personal issues, including abuse, mental illness, and alcoholism. This one’s perfect for Kate Atkinson and Tana French readers.”—Booklist (starred review)

Praise for I See You

“[A] deliciously creepy tale of urban paranoia.”—Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Cabin 10

“An intense psychological thriller that I inhaled with my heart in my mouth...unsettling and claustrophobic read. Truly shuddersome.”—Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl

Praise for I Let You Go

“Genuinely shocking...[a] cunning psychological thriller.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

“An intense psychological thriller...[that] revels in surprises and twists…outstanding.”—Associated Press

“I Let You Go is a master class in plotting, with a killer twist. I could not put it down.”—Jojo Moyes, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You

On of the better psychological thrillers I have read here lately. The characters are very well developed. There is a bit of intrigue too. Even though I had parts figured out before they were revealed, the story kept my attention.

Very good psychological thriller

Wad confused at times. Didn't understand the hint in the end. Loved the interview at the end.

Good Listen

I'll admit this book has an interesting twist, for gullible old me. Beyond that, I didn't enjoy it. I was frustrated by some of the similarities to Girl on a Train (that were executed far better in that book). My biggest complaint is that I know very little more about the main character at the end of the book than I did at the beginning. She was exceptionally dull.

Interesting twist, but flat characters

I enjoyed the story. It was a bit slow in the beginning for me. But once I got into it, I was eager to see what happened. I imagined a few different characters being “the bad guy” as I was reading, but was surprised with someone I hadn’t thought of. The ending got me. I hate when they’re left open ended!

Surprising end

I really like Clare Mackintosh's books. She is knowledgeable because of her previous career and it just makes the story so good. I liked the characters and sometimes it was heartbreaking with what the character Murray's wife went through and how complex mental illness is.

I thought then ending was good - the ex-friend in prison was truly rotten to the core.

Really good listen
