Molto bello, nel solco dei precedenti, un altro imperdibile. ( )
  Raffaella10 | Feb 22, 2023 |


This was the absolute bomb, I enjoyed this book just so much.
I am a relatively new reader of this author after I requested the previous book in this series without realising it was part of an ongoing series.
I was that impressed with it that when I read the description for this instalment I just had to get my mitts on it.
I actually didn't think anything could surpass my previous experience here but this managed to surpass it and then some, I am super impressed.
There is some previous stuff going on here that maybe it would enhance the whole read if you started at the beginning: but personally, I think there is enough backstory explained here that it's not hard to catch on I managed to easily and I started at book nine myself.
This story focuses on another mystery one that was just so fascinating and is what initially captured my attention and this had so many twists and turns at times I felt absolutely giddy.
Set between Hollywood and the UK and spanning 33 years it was hard to see how the two were actually connected.
But when the cogs start to click into place here and so seamlessly at that, this was just pure genius.
Got to say this was such compelling stuff and a real page-turner of a story.
Loved how everything just slotted together the further you went and I could literally feel a veil metaphorically being lifted from my eyes as this played out.
This was also deeply moving and rather than just being told a story the author has managed here to transport the reader right into the tapestry of the story.
This was a five-star experience all the way and I recommend this series highly.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of No One Home (David Raker #10).

A small village in Yorkshire, nine neighbours all gather for a dinner together. It's Halloween and all nine neighbours disappear without a trace. David Raker who investigates the missing is called in to try and find out what happened.

This is book ten in a series and I have previously read one of the other books before. I do prefer to read in order but with a premise such as this one has I couldn't wait to read it. It didnt matter either that I hadn't read the whole series.

I enjoyed the book but the story wasn't what I expected. Nine people vanish without a trace, and I was expecting to perhaps followed one of them to see what was going on. The whole situation is explained and why, once Raker has figured it all out. For this reason I was left feeling a little disappointed.

The reader follows David Raker as he follows leads to find out what has happened. The story however goes back to the eighties to America and an investigation into a murder which for one cop is never solved. There was a lot going on with this story and at times I really had to keep up.

I think the premise alone drew me in but the story wasn't what I expected but I stuck with it. An ok thriller for me but complicated at times. ( )

I just don't know how Tim Weaver continues to make every David Raker book even better than the previous one(s)! I look forward every year to each of his books coming out. I pre-order them from England and then anxiously wait for them to come. I try not to open it too quick because once I do, I read it straight through and then have to wait until the next one is completed! In No One Home, the cover says it all: "Every house is empty. Everyone is missing. Where did they go? It's a very small village of nine people who love where they live, enjoy their lives together, spend a lot of time together and all get along very well. They are celebrating at a party on Halloween when they all disappear. There are pictures of all of them at the party having a great time. Then, they're all gone with only the clothes on their back, their cell phones and wallets. There are no footprints coming into the village, only the footprints of the villagers. No car tracks, plus all cars are still at each house except for the camper van belonging to one of the couples which cannot be found. David Raker is made aware of the case about two and a half years later and decides to try and find out what happened. And, so our story starts. Highly recommended! In fact, the whole series is highly recommended! ( )
