The author is again writing about his favourite topic, missing people. But this time the search is not for someone. We, the readers are with that missing person, Rebekah, the principal character, as she desperately tries to survive on an island deserted out of season, out of communication, bitterly cold and a hundred miles out from Long Island, hoping that she will be found. The story is set in two timelines. The time before and what led her up to her present predicament. And Detective Frank Travis who is dealing with cold cases which involves searching for Rebekah and her brother Johnny. Missing 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. 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.

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. With the growing popularity of Tim’s novels and given that he now writes full time, he is poised for great success. A case in point, Fall from Grace was the second biggest selling book in England the week in which it was released and Tim’s works has been nominated for a National Book Award and for the Crime Writer’s Association Dagger. The author manipulated the reader with red herrings. What on earth had the historian to do with it all? The annoying brother, too. The master of clever, unpredictable plots. The Last Goodbye floored me with its perfectly executed twists and tense, original premise' CLAIRE DOUGLAS When I recently

And with his closest ally under arrest and about to reveal some truths of his own, the danger to Raker is coming from all sides . . . 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!' CLAIRE DOUGLAS, bestselling author of JUST LIKE THE OTHER GIRLS Her brother - Johnny wants to be a historical writer and has made an appointment on "Crow Island" to meet a local historian and asks "Bek" to go with him.

Feeling she has not spent enough time with her aspiring writer brother, Johnny, Beks makes the fateful decision to join him on a trip to the remote and uninhabited Crow Island, only to find themselves targeted by killers. She has no idea why anyone would want to kill them, although she has more than enough time to ruminate over this mystery, as it looks as if Johnny has been murdered and she is left behind, injured and assumed to have died. Desperately missing her daughters, she is tested to her limits, trapped on this forested island during the freezing winter, alone with no hope of rescue for 6 months. In New York, the tenacious Detective Frank Travis is close to retirement, working on the case of the missing artist, Louise Mason, but has got nowhere. However, he has never let go of anyone, and he is to acquire 2 further strange missing person cases. What connects Louise with Beks?

Tim Weaver is a master of the crime genre. You'll be gripped by the intricate plotting and whiplash- inducing twists. I couldn't look away' GILLY MACMILLAN So, in summary, the passive writing and extraneous telling need weeding out. As do the jumps between scenes and characters that happen with no warning. The final quarter of the book needs tightening up and shortening, and overall could do with a lot less character confessions, guesses, and monologues to speed up the pace.

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.Poutavá obálka knihy Ztracené střípky vyloženě nutí člověka, aby po knize sáhl.
