Y'all, this one is a complicated review.
First of all, if you are a fan of suspense - especially atmospheric British suspense - you'll find a lot to love here in LET ME LIE. It's taut and well plotted, with good pacing and an empathetic protagonist.
The complications come for me with the ending - which I am loathe to discuss. I didn't really feel all of the pieces were fully wrapped up and I closed the book feeling puzzled instead of fully satisfied. As a massive fan of Claire Mackintosh's other works, I was slightly disappointed, but this will not sway me from reading her in the future.

out what really happened to her parents. But as she digs up
the past, someone is trying to stop her.Sometimes
it's safer to let things lie....
