Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The gripping brand-new collection from the Sunday Times best-selling author - David Raker is back....
Four mysteries
It's a night just like any other in the Conister home - but then Paul heads upstairs and never comes back.
When his wife, Maggie, goes to see where he is, she can't find him.
His phone and wallet are by the bed. The windows are locked from the inside.
Paul has vanished.
Four stories
Missing-persons investigator David Raker is an expert in locating the lost.
So when he's hired by Maggie, he knows that in every disappearance - however impossible it seems - there's an answer.
What he doesn't know yet is that his search for Paul Conister will become linked to three other mysteries....
One connection
A night patrolman on the London Underground makes a deadly discovery.
A cold case is reopened - but the key witness appears to no longer exist.
And thousands of miles away, a random shooting may not be random at all.
David Raker is key to unlocking the truth....

Shiver down the spine stuff as usual
Another high class offering from Tim Weaver.
I feel like David Raker is a friend I had always thought he was in his early 40s and imagined him as such especially with his young and energetic voice : however if his daughter is 33 , which I was reminded of this time round , that clearly is not the case and I will have to put a few grey hairs onto his head I I especially love the stories where the usual David Raker narrator is speaking; but when the voice was given to someone else in the other stories that was fine too. I am looking forward to “the blackbird “ next year. Thank you Tim and thank you Audible.

Enjoyed it until the end
I really enjoyed listening to this. I enjoyed the US story very much. All the stories were compelling and kept me listening but I just didn't get the end, whether that is me not listening properly, I don't know - I finished thinking I had to listen to another book to get answers, but the next book is a different stories.

Wow, you’ve done it again !!!!!
Tim, you have me hooked from the opening paragraph. Having listened to you whilst laying by a pool, enjoying a long awaited holiday, you made it just perfect. Here’s hoping I don’t have to wait too long for my next “David” fix. The story line has you memorised and you never fail to tick all the boxes. Thank you for yet another “best seller”.

Great Tim Weaver story
Mostly loved the stories though I did find the back dating of parts of the stories a bit confusing at times

First taste of Weaver
Being honest I only bought the book because part of it is narrated by Brendan McDonald. I could listen to him 24/7. Turns out his performance didn’t disappoint and the others were pretty strong too. The stories held their own and I will certainly be exploring Weavers other works.

Kept me entertained
Was a little bit boring in places , narrated was ok the story plodded along . I’m just listening to last 10mins while writing the review I’m waiting for the big finish. …. It didn’t happen . . Maybe this is not my normal listen so I shouldn’t really judge but there was no twists to speak of it was just ok. If you’re in the car for long journey then it will pass the miles away. You can mentally tune in and out and before you know it you’ve done Essex to Edinburgh.

Unfortunately not what I have come to expect
With this book there is a clear woke narratives like the last 2 it is a real shame that the author has strayed from the path.
With the cliffhanger of the previous book not even mentioned it’s very disappointing. The fact that it is not a normal novel in the normal way. Rather a four part series was also disappointing. The first story was quite gripping the other three almost like a bit of a cut out of previous stories put together to make a new book which is a real shame. I hope the next one in the series goes back to its roots.

got lost at the end
it was a great story until the US bit and I got totally lost. maybe I wasn't concentrating but less enjoyable with the 4 strands. felt like story 1 was full length and the others were shoved into 2 hours.

Excellent but too many unanswered questions!
Thoroughly enjoyed this one, hooked me pretty quickly, I found all 4 stories excellent but they are never tied up, I finished the book with too many unanswered questions which is quite frustrating. The US story was interesting but completely irrelevant and didn't seem to have any connection to the other stories as suggested.
I was hooked by the subway story which for some reason just seemed to end abruptly, it was mentioned slightly later in the book but no conclusion.
Despite coming away feeling like I've read part 1, I would still recommend the book as it's kept me thoroughly entertained for a few days.
