Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Vanished by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen and Andrew Brooke.

He got on the train. He didn't get off. So where did he go?


For millions of Londoners, the morning of 17 December is just like any other. But not for Sam Wren. An hour after leaving home, he gets onto a tube train - and never gets off again. No eyewitnesses. No trace of him on security cameras. Six months later, he's still missing.

Out of options and desperate for answers, Sam's wife Julia hires David Raker to track him down. Raker has made a career out of finding the lost. He knows how they think. And, in missing person cases, the only certainty is that everyone has something to hide.

But in this case the secrets go deeper than anyone imagined.

For, as Raker starts to suspect that even the police are lying to him, someone is watching. Someone who knows what happened on the tube that day. And, with Raker in his sights, he'll do anything to keep Sam's secrets to himself . . .

'Weaver's books get better each time - tense, complex, written with flair as well as care' Guardian

'A fluent and assured piece of crime fiction . . . Tim Weaver ties in the apparently divergent events with convincing ease' Crime Fiction Lover

Book itself great as always

Love Tim’s books and the story itself is wonderful but let down by the narrators dull voice. I’m sorry I don’t like to leave negative reviews but maybe the narrator could just be a little less monotone in future?! They’re good just I found it so dull it lulled me into wanting to nap and I listen to these books while working (my brain needs to have something else to focus on while doing things) so not a great listen for me. Had to stop halfway. Love the actual story tho.

ponderous narration

story pretty good. however narration is not great... every sentence is read as if someone is about to die when the character may only actually be walking across a room! this makes for a less comfortable listen.
