Tim Weaver - Book Series In Order Tim Weaver - Book Series In Order

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. But the fire crews and forensic teams who expect to find the charred remains of a husband and wife find something else instead.From the latest Scandinavian serial killer to Golden Age detective stories, we love our crime novels! 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. 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. Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. You'll be gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash- inducing twists.

They’re obviously dead – but when firefighters arrive at the scene the car is empty, the Gascoignes nowhere to be found. How did that happen and where are they? Taken on by Cate’s grieving family, these are two questions that Raker is determined to answer, but as his investigation progresses, more and more questions are about to cloud the issue further. Could this be the case that finally defeats this master of missing persons investigations? As he continues with the investigations, he realizes that there was more to Alex’s life than met the eye. Indeed, Alex was not the innocent person that his mother knew, as his life was full of sinister events whose secrecy was guarded by men who would do anything to ensure that the secrets were not disclosed, including killing anyone who insisted on knowing them. David is later to learn that death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person.
