No One Home - great read

Was gripped by this story from page 1 !! Author has a way of making you feel involved in the life of the main characters and all the paths leading to the conclusion. Loved the switch of the story tellers from Uk to USA dialects. Fiction at its best !

a far fetched

this started ok but became more and more unbelievable as I listened. It's a shame because I really enjoyed the earlier books the last two have been simply irritating.

GREAT story, really twisty

Really good story, not what I expected at all. Lots of twists throughout and for the end. The American ladies English accent was amusing to say the least! But it adds to the enjoyment for me when the narrators attempt an accent!

The best yet?

I have now listened to all the Raker books . What will I do until the next one comes out? This one was probably the most suspenseful of the lot. Great story , complex , well paced ; tragic . Poor David how he suffers . Time he got a new girlfriend after the closure with his dead wife in the previous book ..

Gripping storyline.

Joe Coen was great, however, Lorelei King has one tone throughout making her chapters difficult to listen to.

Impressive

One of the many reasons to keep going with this
complex story is the intrigue in trying to work out how the several threads will come together. The pace is fast and driven further by cliff hanging chapter endings. The narration is rushed at times and accents wobble a bit but none of this distracts. This author understands grief. At the centre of a violent, deranged set of events is a quiet story of the sadness of loss which is what will stay with me from this book.

Not one of the best in the David Raker series.

I chose this novel on the basis of having enjoyed previous books in the series. On this occasion, however, I was disappointed and had to force myself to finish it. The story moved forward through a series of improbable events: nine people disappeared without trace, an American serial killer takes over the persona of a part time British diplomat without arousing suspicion, the nine missing victims are transported by air to an unnamed country thousands of miles away.

In addition to the storyline’s lack of credibility, I felt that there were far too many characters in the novel, some of whom seemed to play little part in events.

Yes - a disappointment on this occasion but not one which will stop me from reading future Tim Weaver stories.

Kept me guessing until the end!

I was initially confused by the two storylines and had to check whether or not there had been an error although once I got my head around it I thoroughly enjoy it. There were side storylines that developed the characters well. I was invested in David and Jo and was intrigued as to how their storylines would connect. Excellent book, I finished it in 3 days.

Men will like it

It's a good story but there is a lot of over-explaining and I struggled to keep going in places.
