You Were Gone
You Were Gone | Tim Weaver
7 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
A woman walks into a police station and tells officers she's been missing for eight years. She has no phone and no ID, just a piece of paper with a name on it- David Raker. Raker specializes in locating missing people. After his wife died, they became how he coped and moved on - and, almost a decade later, the disappeared aren't just his job any more, they're his life. So when the police call him, Raker agrees to meet the woman. But this is no ordinary case - and no ordinary woman. She looks exactly like his dead wife. She knows everything about their marriage, their history, even private conversations the two of them had. And soon, everything Raker thought he knew about his life, and about the woman he loved, will be exposed as a devastating lie . . .

Very suspenseful audio for the commute to work. I really enjoyed it although some bits were a bit of a stretch — happy to suspend belief to figure out what was going on though!

Found this dragged in a lot of places, this could‘ve been cut by at least 100 pages. In saying that, it kept me guessing the whole time and was a good mystery to finish up on #screamathon

3.5 🌟

2-2019 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is actually book nine in this series but I didn‘t know that...can definitely be read as a stand-alone, will go back and start from book one at some point.

This was read as a stand alone, and it worked so perfectly on its own that I‘m now eager to read the rest of the series. I love books where you question the reliability and sanity of the narrator, and this book did it wonderfully. Weaver is evidently highly skilled in his storytelling, the flow was just right and I didn‘t lose track of the story at any point. Unexpected, suspenseful and twisty.

Didn't realise this was part of a series, stands alone well. For a good chunk of the book I REALLY wasn't sure who was telling the truth - David, who's dead wife turns up in a police station claiming she never died, (husband had a breakdown & imagined it, she says). Or the wife, who's reappearance after 8 years turns David's life, emotions & sanity upside-down. Compelling read which seemed shorter than it's almost 500 page count.

He buried his wife. He mourned his wife. Eight years later she rocks up in a police station claiming she only nipped to the chemist! (in fairness there's a right queue for prescriptions sometimes) he says it's not her and she says he's had a breakdown... . One of them is loco 😵
