This was my first Weaver book, and I'm unsure I'll read another, unless the blurb really grabs me. I had heard great things and was looking forward to seeing what kind of writer he was. So, in summary, the passive writing and extraneous telling need weeding out. As do the jumps between scenes and characters that happen with no warning. The final quarter of the book needs tightening up and shortening, and overall could do with a lot less character confessions, guesses, and monologues to speed up the pace. 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. They must get the last ferry off the island at 5.00pm, or there is no other transport to get from the island to home, or they will have to stay overnight until the last ferry for the winter arrives the next morning. Raw, fraught, multi-layered, and a fantastic portrayal of a strong female heroine in peril' GILLIAN MCALLISTER, bestselling author of How to Disappear

I liked main character, and she came alive for me. The setting and description were done well too. Here are some lines I loved: In summary, the sinuous plot takes us through toe-curling and fist clenching violence scenes and we feel David Raker go through the normal vicissitudes of life as he grows. The mystery and suspense in the entire novel is awesome. An outstanding book, absolutely superb. The solution reminded me of a Russian Doll, where you take one apart to find another one still to be opened' 5***** Reader Review Rebekah is stranded on Crow Island, miles from US mainland in a place ravaged by a hurricane with few facilities. The island is typically only operating and functional for a set season of the year, but otherwise remains barren and desolate. Over the course of the novel and through some heated and fast paced chapters we soon uncover why she's stranded there, and why someone tried to kill her- something which she herself is not yet aware of. Rebekah is running, running for her life, she is hurt - she is desperate and other than that we don't really know what is going on, that is the opening chapter. We flip to the before and learn about Rebekah, her life and what takes her eventually to the Island, where she is now present day. The chapters flip between Rebekah trying to survive and then, the past as we run up to the present. Someone wants Rebekah dead, she is stranded on an Island alone and can't imagine why anyone would want to hurt her let alone kill her. Rebekah wasn't alone when she arrived so where is her brother and where is the person she is running from?
