You Were Gone - Tim Weaver
I buried you.
I mourned you . . .
But now you're back.
But now you're back.
A woman walks into a police station.
She has no phone and no ID, just a piece of paper that reads 'David Raker'.
She says she's his wife.
She looks just like her.
She knows everything about him.
But David buried his wife eight years ago.
Is this really the woman he loved?
Did he really say goodbye?
Or is he losing his mind?
Did he really say goodbye?
Or is he losing his mind?
Review
I absolutely love the David Raker series! As soon as I read that tagline I was eagerly awaiting its release. We join Raker enjoying a family Christmas Devon when he receives a phone call saying his Wife has just walked into Charing Cross police station. His wife died 8 years ago so it can't be her can it? This woman looks, talks and acts like his wife and know intimate details of their marriage that no one apart from his wife could know. This woman tells the police Raker had a breakdown and that's why he can't remember, this is backed up by a respected Doctor. One of them is lying! Is she really his Wife? Is Raker delusional? Or is she lying?
This concept is utterly brilliant and ballsy. Weaver takes his loved and trusted character and makes us question everything we know about him, everything Raker knows about himself... it's unputdownable from the start can Raker prove his innocence to the police, us and most importantly himself? The twists and turns throughout the novel keep us guessing until the end. This intense and thrilling ride is not to be missed for anyone who likes a mystery.
