Customer Reviews
Full of suspense
This is the first Tim Weaver book I've read. Drawn in by the cover and blurb, I loved the premise of this book; nine villagers seemingly vanish on Halloween without a trace. Private detective Raker is brought in to crack the case after the police investigation draws a blank. The story unfolds cleverly and intrigue is created through another story from decades ago about a murder case in LA which is weaved in and somehow connected. There is lots of suspense in this novel and it certainly gets you thinking as you ride the twists and turns of the immersive writing. I did sometimes feel that the pace was a little slow, but perhaps I was a bit impatient as I was dying to see how it all turned out.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this one - just clear your diary as you won't want any distractions.
Should have finished half way through...
I have always enjoyed Tim Weaver books- but often find they go on too long and then go off the boil.
They often become overly complex when the premise of the story is superb.
I was so gripped until extraneous characters and situations evolved which then stopped the reading enjoyment.
Should have been a 5* , but only two as in the end,an unsatisfactory ending and I just wanted in to END!
No one home
Dont bother, so slow and boring i gave up by the 4th chapter
