Product Information

Things take a turn for the worse once they arrive at Crow Island and as the island is due to shut down for the winter the next day it all seems a bit eerie and very quiet. I think the author portrayed Rebekah’s emotional state well as she learned to cope with her situation. Detective Frank Travis, a week from retirement, is frustrated by the case of a missing woman (not Rebekah) who seems to have vanished completely.

And with his closest ally under arrest and about to reveal some truths of his own, the danger to Raker is coming from all sides . At first she is apprehensive about leaving her two daughters for the day and then decides that it may be good to get away from everything for the day and agrees to go with Johnny. We, the readers are with that missing person, Rebekah, the principal character, as she desperately tries to survive on an island deserted out of season, out of communication, bitterly cold and a hundred miles out from Long Island, hoping that she will be found. The premise intrigued me especially as Rebekah's panic, puzzlement and confinement feels isolating, confusing and almost claustrophobic and eerie.

Rebekah is a tough cookie and the thought of coming home to her two girls keep her going until the island opens again and she can escape it. Mostly, it is clear where and when the story is taking place, but at times it was a little confusing. When I recently took up a free trial with Audible I decided to start with Weaver’s Missing Pieces, which was released in book form earlier this year.

The then lets us know Rebekah's current relationship, stressors, family life, the now is her trying to survive on a deserted island, harsh elements, loneliness. Sorry for this, but honestly: she runs like a madman after a vehicle pulling a trailer on which is another car. This was one of my first of Weaver's books but if like me, you're a fan of a supercharged, almost dark and gritty crime thriller this one won't disappoint. There are red herrings as well as actual clues in this dark and disturbing nightmare story of survival in which I was completely immersed, desperate for answers, and totally rooting for a Rebekah experiencing a recurring nightmare of being in an apartment numbered 127. Without giving away any more of the plot, I can say that Rebekah was abandoned on the island, with little chance of escape, and with the threat of being hunted by the killers.David is reluctant to take the task of investigating Alex Towne’s disappearance, but remembering the loss of his own, he finally agrees, and this signifies the beginning of trouble for him.
