About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of You Were Gone by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen, Rachel Bavidge and Tom Burke.

Three days after Christmas, a woman walks into a police station. She has no phone and no ID, just a piece of paper with the name of investigator David Raker on it. She tells officers that Raker is her husband.

SHE SAYS SHE'S MY WIFE.

When he turns up at the station, Raker is stunned. The woman looks exactly like his wife. She knows all about their marriage, their history, even private conversations the two of them had. There's just one problem: Raker's wife has been dead for eight years.

MY WIFE DIED . . . DIDN'T SHE?

The woman tells the police that Raker had a breakdown. A respected doctor backs up her account. Items are missing that prove Raker's side of the story - and, worst of all, he soon becomes the prime suspect in a disappearance.

SHE'S EITHER A LIAR - OR I AM.

Could Raker have imagined their whole marriage? Is he delusional? Is this really the woman he loved and grieved for? Hunted by the police, Raker will have to find out the truth before it costs him everything - his memories, his sanity, his life . . .

Critic reviews

His most serpentine and satisfying yet
Kept me guessing until the final page (Jane Corry)
Tense and twisty, with an emotional punch and an intriguing plot. It's gripping stuff (Karen Perry)
Weaver's David Raker series just keeps getting better. . .This is a page-turner of the highest order. If you're not already a Raker fan, you will be after reading this

There are times when we need to either, not read reviews first or read them but choose to try the book despite some bad reviews. So glad I used a credit for this book. It was a credit well worth it! Some have said it's 'unbelievable' well so are most fiction novels! I was engrossed from start to finish and allowed my imagination to enjoy every second as these fabulous narrators read this dark and intriguing story to me. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you everyone involved :-)

I've got all the Raker books, and even tho' some are far fetched, they are still enjoyable. Thought this one would never end...
It did, and I just managed to bear with it, but oh, the unrelenting misery of it was thoroughly bleak. The beginning was so far from how I imagine an intelligent man would react to police accusations, I struggled with the first couple of hours. I've given it 3 stars, which is really more than it deserves.
Hoping the next book is an improvement.

Depressing nonsense

I literally could not stop listening to this book, start to finish, it had me hooked! when I had to pause, it was on my mind, under my skin, exactly how a thriller novel should be. I'm so impressed, and enthralled by this book and all of its unpredictable and exciting turns.

Twisty Turny thrilling genius!
