Customer Reviews
The start of a new journey
I have read so many books, an unbelievable amount but this book is something else. It’s a masterpiece. I cannot fathom the planning that went into it before it was written. Every reader of crime fiction needs to read this. But it’s just the beginning of my journey with this author as I shall now work my way through his other books.

Tim Weaver is simply a fabulous writer who grabs you by the brain and drags you into his story and the teases you with information, some of which is meant to confuse and some meant to help solve his incredible mysteries… and always several twists along the way.
Love his work but this one especially would make such a great series to watch on the box.
Bring it on, if Robert Galbraith (JKR) can be brought to the screen then so should this.
Thank you Mr Weaver 😎
