Story
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.

Seven-year-old Jocelyn Holt loves her nanny Hannah more than her own mother. When Hannah disappears one summer night, Jo never gets over the loss. Thirty years on, now a young widow with a daughter of her own, Jo is forced to return to her family home, and the mother she’s always despised, just as a skull is pulled out of the lake in the grounds. Could this explain her beloved nanny’s disappearance? What other secrets will that lake give up to the police?

Story
Exhausted single mother Rebekah Murphy leaves her daughters with a friend in the city to accompany her brother on a work assignment on a picturesque island. An hour after arriving, her and her brother are attacked. He vanishes, she's left for dead and, by the time she makes it back to safety, it's already too late: the island has closed for the season - and it'll be seven months before anyone returns. But even with her brother missing, even with no boats, phones or people, Rebekah will soon realise that finding a way back to the mainland is only the start of her nightmare.

I wrap my arms around the tree trunk, pressing my cheek against it until the bark digs in and the missing poster is finally secured. I try not to look at the photograph on it. At the features so similar to mine. Perhaps this will be the year someone comes forward. Were crucial mistakes made by detectives from the very beginning? Could the pressure of living two lives have led my sister to run away - or even end it? Or did someone in her tight circle of friends and family have reason to want her gone? Someone out there must know something.

Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of No One Home, written by Tim Weaver.
On Halloween night, the residents of Black Gale gather for a dinner party. As the only nine people living there, they've become close friends as well as neighbours. They eat, drink and laugh. They play games and take photographs. Except those photographs will be the last record of any of them. By the next morning, the whole village has vanished.
With no bodies, no evidence and no clues, the mystery of what happened at Black Gale remains unsolved two and a half years on. But then the families of the missing turn to investigator David Raker - and their obsession becomes his. What secrets were the neighbours keeping from their families - and from each other? Were they really everything they seemed to be? And is Raker looking for nine missing people - or nine dead bodies?

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.

Too much flowery description!
I found this book hard to listen to! I stuck with it in the hope it'd get better.
It didn't!
The male narrator gave the lead character the accent of a posh art critic(the female narrator was better) the pace of the book is
so slow that it took 11 minutes to have the character go into a house!
By halfway through i couldn't care less about any of the players in the story!

Good mix of storylines
Really enjoyed the story - the voice in the dark, the US police officer and Raker's investigation. Good twists at the end. Almost felt rushed at the end with a lot going on.

Incredible writing, superbly read
I don’t often listen to books, being really honest I meant to buy this book in paper format but pressed the wrong button in Amazon! How pleased I now am I hit the wrong button. I was engrossed and captivated from the beginning. Both readers were amazing and gripped me throughout. Whilst the writing is fantastic the readers really added the depth.

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.
