A great read! What began with a simple plot of a disappeared woman and an investigator hired to look for the missing person, took some really sharp twists! Was thoroughly thrilled reading it. Definitely considering to read more of Tim Weaver's.

Kept me guessing until the end I’m totally loving this author at the minute and this series is excellent.

This is the first David Raker book I'd read in a few years and I really enjoyed it.
I realised afterwards that I'd mistakenly skipped books 5 and 6 in the series. So, although I was occasionally confused on what had happened to some of the side characters since my last reading, I think the book would also be readable as a stand alone.

I need to try and stay awake to write my review, seeing as I spent two nights running staying up late to finish reading this ... zzzzzzzz
I seemed to somehow pick up book five from this series not so long ago and on the whole enjoyed it. Now somehow I have no 7 and still haven't read the beginning of the series! Never mind, the two I've read seem to stand well alone without having read the full series.
I liked the idea that this is based around film production and that some sort of message is left in the films (I dont want to give too much away here). Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing and keep you turning those pages. My only minor criticism is the way that every chapter try's to finish on a cliffhanger which I find slightly annoying and unnecessary for every chapter when they are only a few pages long.

Loved it! Another 5 star rating for Tim Weaver and David Raker. As always, full of twists and turns and takes us on another fast-paced, thrilling adventure steeped in history and mystique. I’m in awe of the research that goes into these books and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning about some of the topics covered within the stories. (Nerd alert

I love this series! And the excellent narration.
This had a few moments that seemed lacking in common sense but still loved it!
