The whole premise and idea was brilliant however the execution especially Bek's time on Crows Island was extremely drawn out. I found myself continously losing interest. 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. Things take a turn for the worse once they arrive at Crow Island and as the island is due to shut down for the winter the next day it all seems a bit eerie and very quiet. They must get the last ferry off the island at 5.00pm, or there is no other transport to get from the island to home, or they will have to stay overnight until the last ferry for the winter arrives the next morning. Rebekah Murphy's marriage seems like the perfect marriage until she finds another mobile phone in her husband's car. After confessing that he has been having an affair the marriage falls apart and he moves out.The author manipulated the reader with red herrings. What on earth had the historian to do with it all? The annoying brother, too.

Detective Travis can't find Louise Mason. The case has no leads and is getting colder by the day. Then Travis gets an anonymous tip-off -but is this a clue or part of something more sinister? On the night Tom Brenner and his nine-year-old son Leo visit the Seven Peaks theme park, they head straight for the ghost house. They go in. But they don't come out. For me this is classic Weaver. Rather dark and bleak, with very good pace and tension, coupled with vivid characters. I've been a fan of the Raker series of books almost from their start and have read them all. I was unsure what to expect from a non Raker story but I needn't have worried. Any fan's of Tim Weaver's books will be completely at home with this. As this is a standalone story no knowledge of the Raker series needed however anyone trying this will probably want to read more. Tim Weaver's writing is of a very high standard and that has been maintained for some time now. I do hope that continues for many years to come - I will certainly continue reading what he writes! Rebekah is running, running for her life, she is hurt - she is desperate and other than that we don't really know what is going on, that is the opening chapter. We flip to the before and learn about Rebekah, her life and what takes her eventually to the Island, where she is now present day. The chapters flip between Rebekah trying to survive and then, the past as we run up to the present. Someone wants Rebekah dead, she is stranded on an Island alone and can't imagine why anyone would want to hurt her let alone kill her. Rebekah wasn't alone when she arrived so where is her brother and where is the person she is running from? An outstanding book, absolutely superb. The solution reminded me of a Russian Doll, where you take one apart to find another one still to be opened' 5***** Reader ReviewMissing persons investigator David Raker is hired by Rebekah to find out if the letter is actually from her mother - and soon makes a connection to the Brenners. A brilliant, strong start to the story, and great character development. Missing Pieces gets 3 stars from me, which I see as a positive review (see my notes below). Thank you Netgalley, Penguin Michael Joseph UK and of course Tim Weaver for letting me ready a copy of this I'm return for an honest review. 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.
