About this deal

Rebekah decides to join her older brother Johnny on a trip to the remote and uninhabited Crow Island, only to find themselves being hunted.

In New York, Detective Frank Travis is close to retirement, working on the case of the missing artist, Louise Mason, but is getting nowhere. What connects Louise with Rebekah?

Overall though, despite the negatives, this is a good, solid thriller which is well written and well worth reading. I would like to thank Netgalley and Penguin Michael Joseph UK for an advance copy of Missing Pieces, a stand-alone thriller set, mostly on Crow Island off the coast of New York. These characters are - as is usual with Tim Weaver - well rounded and have a good depth to them. The more I read the more determined I was to know why the events had occurred. The setting - much of it on the island with Rebekah - almost created another "character". I was steadily drawn in. What he does know is that he retires in one week - and if he doesn't find out where Louise went, no one will . . .You know I thought I'd miss Raker, this being a standalone, but actually I didn't give him a second thought.. Showcases Tim Weaver's trademark clever and original plotting. Twisty, unpredictable and so gripping. That ending will stay with me for a long time. A brilliant book!'

The then lets us know Rebekah's current relationship, stressors, family life, the now is her trying to survive on a deserted island, harsh elements, loneliness. There are twists, timeline jumps, little nuggets *missing pieces* of information as you delve further into the story.

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. 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.

This book has blown me away! I read it in a day as I physically couldn't put it down. An absolute must-read for everyone' 5***** Reader ReviewDespite the above wonderful writing, too much passive writing, switching between characters and scenes with no section breaks to help the reader orient themselves, and constant telling what has been shown in dialogue (eg: 'If you ever got caught with me ...' He faded out-time and again, the writer acts as though the elipses don't get the message across and tells us, unnecessarily, that the speaker 'faded out'. A small enough thing done once or twice, but the whole way through the book gets a bit much. Also, some actions I just couldn't understand, and taken together, all of this put me off the read somewhat. 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. 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).
