Chasing the Dead: 1 (David Raker Mystery)

Product Information

The long drawn out conclusion – Dave walks into a trap, is “caught” and escapes – simply defies belief. Some of the other plot elements felt really outlandish, even for a horror novel about the ghost of a centuries-old serial killer who can raise the dead and possess their corpses.

And as you read that last page I hope you feel, much like I did, that last cold chill creep up your spine.

His fourth novel, Never Coming Back, was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, and his work has been nominated for a National Book Award. Missing persons investigator David Raker doesn’t want the work: it’s clearly a sad but hopeless case of mistaken identity brought to him by a woman unable to let go of her son.

You’re constantly waiting to find out what is hiding around the corner, only to be surprised when the most unexpected of events occur. A good plot with an unexpected twist at the end, but too full of graphic descriptions of gratuitous violence for my liking - I found it uncomfortable reading. Praise for Tim Weaver:'Weaver has delivered another cracking crime thriller' Daily Mail'I couldn't put it down' The Sun'Weaver's books get better each time - tense, complex, written with flair as well as care' Guardian'The reader is educated as well as entertained, enthralled and intrigued. Tim Weaver certainly has a style of writing that keeps you reading, at the expense of wanting to do anything else.
