Critics Review
I much enjoyed Tim Weaver ’s latest, The Blackbird. It’s a fine addition to an excellent series * Observer *With the David Raker novels, Tim Weaver has carved out an area of British crime fiction uniquely his own. Unsettling, brilliantly plotted, and satisfyingly complex, these books are unputdownable, and the latest - The Blackbird - is no exception. If you haven’t yet met Raker, you’re in for a treat – Mick HerronI always look forward to a new Raker but The Blackbird blew me away. Brilliantly plotted, deliciously dark and so clever and unpredictable I was left reeling as I turned the last page. I’m already eagerly awaiting Tim Weaver’s next. A writer at the top of his game – Claire DouglasA brilliant missing persons mystery with plenty of intrigue and a jaw-dropping number of twists and turns. Truly excellent – B A ParisIncredibly well-paced, with menacing, clever twists - Raker is back in this stunning read from one of the masters of the genre. Tim Weaver goes from strength to strength and this is his best book yet – Phoebe MorganThe impressive Weaver triumphs again with this intricate mystery * Daily Mail *Shocking, gripping, heart-pounding, The Blackbird is unputdownable … Bloody brilliant – Nikki MayTaut and immersive, with all the hallmarks of a true crime novel – Catherine SteadmanThis is the 11th novel by Weaver to feature his widowed sleuth, and the author’s casual expertise is firmly in evidence * Financial Times *A killer concept, and a twisty, addictive tale. Fabulous! – Gytha Lodge
