PRAISE FOR TIM WEAVER

--

Thrilling

Richard and Judy Book Club

The master of clever, unpredictable plots

Claire Douglas

Packed with twists

Daily Express

The Raker novels just keep getting better. Weaver’s novel is a masterclass in thriller-writing. THE LOST WOMEN is nail-biting, clever and superbly written. The characters leap off the page; their stories will raise your blood pressure and might break your heart. There’s also a risk of whiplash from the breakneck plotting and a risk of shock at the ending. Outstanding.
