Product Information

Chasing the Dead – Tim Weaver – Penguin Books". Penguin.co.uk. 7 July 2011 . Retrieved 1 September 2013. Kniha je rozdělena do několika částí a kapitol, ve kterých se prolíná současnost, minulost a také vyprávění z pohledu policisty. Přestože mám ráda, když má kniha dvě dějové linky, zde to na mne působilo poměrně rušivě. Střihy v kapitolách způsobovaly, zejména v první třetině knihy, jistou dezorientaci, která mi komplikovala čtení. Pak jsem si už zvykla na střídání dějových linek a orientace se mi vrátila. Přesto jsem se necítila při čtení příliš komfortně. When we’re given information regarding why our character went missing… well, the story did not go where I was expecting. It was wonderful, full of twists and turns. The story was beautifully interconnected, more and more being added on to the sordid tale until you fear no more can be added – only for Weaver to show you otherwise. Honestly, it was great. I cannot begin to explain all that is going on without doing the book an injustice. There’s a mix of the past and the present. Fears of what will happen and anxiety about what has occurred. The first three thrillers in the stunning David Raker series - for the first time in one unique bundle Rebekah is trapped on an island that is closed for the winter. She is being hunted by teo killers but Rebekah does not know why they are after her. This is a cleverly crafted plotline that's both atmospheric and mysterious. Detective Frank Travis has a few days left before he retires and he's desperate to close the case of missing Louise Mason. I liked the authors style in writing this book. There's plenty of twists, it's compelling and has well developed characters. The story is told from Rebekah and Frank's points of view. I loved this standalone.

Naming himself Richard Kite, he spends the next ten months desperately trying to find out who he is. But despite media appeals and the efforts of the police, no one knows him. A fluent and assured piece of crime fiction . . . Tim Weaver ties in the apparently divergent events with convincing ease' Crime Fiction Lover Weaver's books get better each time - tense, complex, written with flair as well as care' - Guardian I didn't particularly warm to any of the characters. There was an awful lot of really nasty people - and most of the nice ones seem to get killed off. But the plot didn't really require you to like anyone in particular In September 2015, Weaver wrote and presented an eight-part podcast series called Missing, looking into how and why people disappear. [14] It was selected by iTunes as one of the best podcasts of 2015. [15] In August 2016, Weaver recorded three further episodes.Brilliant, as ever. Tim Weaver has, once again, demonstrated why he is one of my favourite authors. Tim Weaver να τον γνωρίσαμε σχετικά πρόσφατα, αλλά έχει ήδη αποκτήσει φανατικό κοινό. Τα βιβλία του, τρία μέχρι στιγμής κυκλοφορούν από τις εκδόσεις Bell, αποτελούν τη σειρά Υποθέσεις Εξαφανισμένων Προσώπων με πρωταγωνιστή τον ερευνητή Ντέιβιντ Ρέικερ και αποτελούν αυτοτελείς υποθέσεις με κοινό χαρακτηριστικό ότι σε καθένα απ΄ αυτά υπάρχει ένα εξαφανισμένο πρόσωπο που το αναζητά κάποιος. Tim Weaver is an English novelist born in 1977 in Bath, England. He is a former student of Norton Hill School. He later became a journalist, a career in which he grew rapidly. He was a celebrated video games journalist and magazine editor before he switched to novel authoring and the father of one daughter has written several crime thriller novels which have been read far and wide. He lives with his family near Bath, England. Kniha pro mne postrádala spád, děj se mi táhnul, měla jsem pocit, že je to nekonečný příběh. Vlastně celé mi to přišlo takové nějaké zmatené. Ano – rozporuplný a zmatený pocit po přečtení v sobě pociťuji. Feeling she has not spent enough time with her aspiring writer brother, Johnny, Beks makes the fateful decision to join him on a trip to the remote and uninhabited Crow Island, only to find themselves targeted by killers. She has no idea why anyone would want to kill them, although she has more than enough time to ruminate over this mystery, as it looks as if Johnny has been murdered and she is left behind, injured and assumed to have died. Desperately missing her daughters, she is tested to her limits, trapped on this forested island during the freezing winter, alone with no hope of rescue for 6 months. In New York, the tenacious Detective Frank Travis is close to retirement, working on the case of the missing artist, Louise Mason, but has got nowhere. However, he has never let go of anyone, and he is to acquire 2 further strange missing person cases. What connects Louise with Beks?

This book has blown me away! I read it in a day as I physically couldn't put it down. An absolute must-read for everyone' 5***** Reader Review That said, the last 25% of the book let me down, and I felt like the story had been abandoned from its original premise.What he doesn't know yet is that his search for Paul Conister will become linked to three other mysteries . . .
