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.

Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. You'll be gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash- inducing twists. I couldn't look away' GILLY MACMILLAN this is not a pacy or grippy story, it's very long and dragged, hence not a thriller, just a mystery

Retailers:

However I feel that losing most of the story to the Island really damages the stars I want to give this. Missing Pieces by Tim weaver is another great book from the author. I have read the David Raker series, and this doesn’t disappoint. This is a standalone novel.

The complex character throughout the series, David Raker, is charged with the responsibility of investigating the case. Just like Tim, David Raker is a former journalist. We learn that he left his job to nurse his ailing wife, who finally dies. David is reluctant to take the task of investigating Alex Towne’s disappearance, but remembering the loss of his own, he finally agrees, and this signifies the beginning of trouble for him. Rebekah Murphy has been missing for five months. She knows too much. She knows she's alone on an abandoned island with a killer on her trail. She knows that to get home, she must live to understand why this is happening. She knows someone tried to kill her for a secret. Detective Frank Travis doesn't know enough. He doesn't know where to find Louise Mason. He doesn't know how or why she vanished into thin air three months ago. What neither Rebekah or Detective Travis realise is that each hold a missing piece of the same puzzle. Stranded, no hope of escape, wondering what has brought her to this moment, Rebekah struggles for survival on a remote island. Tim Weaver brings the sense of isolation, the terror, the bleak landscape to vivid, stark life with his brilliant writing and the entire read is edge of the seat fantastic.What he does know is that he retires in one week - and if he doesn't find out where Louise went, no one will . . . Trapped on an abandoned island, hundreds of miles from her children, with a killer on her trail, Rebekah must survive long enough to figure it out. But so much doesn’t make sense. Who is the person trying to silence her – and why? And why haven’t her family reported her missing or sent a rescue party? In summary, the sinuous plot takes us through toe-curling and fist clenching violence scenes and we feel David Raker go through the normal vicissitudes of life as he grows. The mystery and suspense in the entire novel is awesome. So, in summary, the passive writing and extraneous telling need weeding out. As do the jumps between scenes and characters that happen with no warning. The final quarter of the book needs tightening up and shortening, and overall could do with a lot less character confessions, guesses, and monologues to speed up the pace. When Rebekah Murphy was three, her mother walked out and never returned. Nearly four decades on, Fiona Murphy is still missing. Until a letter arrives in the post, claiming to be from Fiona.

Missing Pieces - Penguin Books UK

With the growing popularity of Tim’s novels and given that he now writes full time, he is poised for great success. A case in point, Fall from Grace was the second biggest selling book in England the week in which it was released and Tim’s works has been nominated for a National Book Award and for the Crime Writer’s Association Dagger. The author manipulated the reader with red herrings. What on earth had the historian to do with it all? The annoying brother, too. Someone is trying to kill Rebekah Murphy because she knows a secret but doesn’t know what it is. She i

The premise intrigued me especially as Rebekah's panic, puzzlement and confinement feels isolating, confusing and almost claustrophobic and eerie. The island and the adverse weather conditions lends itself well to her struggles to create an environment that is difficult to survive in. Wrought with tension, intrigue and clues, the missing pieces of the plot are uncovered and leave us with even more unanswered questions. This atmospheric and riveting story had me tearing through chapters trying to find out what happened next, and whilst some descriptions of the island and its landscape felt repetitive at times, the often jaw-dropping reveal of information and panic-charged situations made up for these lesser moments.

MISSING PIECES - TIM WEAVER | Bestselling author

Tim Weaver is a British author that I have been meaning to read more of. I enjoyed some of his early books, but have not kept up with his recent releases, which seem to slip under the radar in Australia. We flit between present day Rebekah and her struggles, to past happenings in her life that gives us context to her current circumstances. We also see chapters from the perspective of Detective Travis searching for a missing artist. With two seemingly disparate protagonists, Missing Pieces had me intrigued from the offset, and I wanted to read on to find out how the pairs lives would converge and why. Poutavá obálka knihy Ztracené střípky vyloženě nutí člověka, aby po knize sáhl. Kor, když si na obalu můžeme přečíst: “Nová hvězda moderního thrilleru.” To vše značí, že se máme na co těšit, pokud se do knihy pustíme.
