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 . . .

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)

A great story.

A great well written story, lots of trist and turns..it could have been shortened by an hour, sometimes there was way too much detail.

A good listen!!

This is the first David Raker book I've read, but it does not affect the major storyline. The story itself was fascinating, though I have to agree with some of the reviews that it was a bit unrealistic (but life is crazy and you never know what would happen!!). However, that does not affect the fact that I enjoyed the book for the most parts. The twist at the end, I was like WHATTTTT!!! I did not see that coming!! And the ending of the book was just so heartwarming and satisfactory. Overall, it was a very good read/ listen.

Another great novel from Tim Weaver

This is his best yet - loved it and can't wait for the next one. Joe Coen is awesome as the voice of Raker. The other narrators were great too.
