Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Chasing the Dead by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen and Lee Ingleby.

One year ago Alex Towne's body was found. One month ago his mother saw him on the street. One week ago David Raker agreed to look for him. Now he wishes he hadn't.

Mary Towne's son, Alex, went missing six years ago. Five years later he finally turned up - as a corpse in a car wreck. Missing persons investigator David Raker doesn't want the work: it's clearly a sad but hopeless case of mistaken identity brought to him by a woman unable to let go of her son. But haunted by a loss of his own, Raker reluctantly agrees. Big mistake. For as he digs deeper, he discovers that Alex's life was not the innocent one his mother believed. Buried in his past are secrets that were never meant to be found - and dark, dangerous men willing to kill to protect them. Soon Raker will discover that there are things far worse than death....

Not a fan

I found this boring to be honest. Also, I’m instantly put off when male authors use the word “panties” for women’s underwear. Women do not use this word. Ever.

Where it all began…

Tim Wever’s debut novel is aintricate mystery with a cracking pace. Wonderfully read on audio by Joe Coen and Lee Ingleby.

Not a big fan

My first Weaver book and while I liked the narrator’s voice and the general plot, I found it too sentimental and drawn out. The protagonist has exaggerated emotions and keeps stating the obvious or repeating himself. Some conversations are also frustratingly pointless. One character says ‘I don’t know’. The other says ‘you better tell me everything’ .. repeat back and forth until a sound distracts them both. Ugh.
