My second David Raker missing persons book by Tim Weaver. David Raker is a likeable, readable character and Tim Weaver knows how to weave (sorry) a good story.
I loved the premise, a whole village, albeit a tiny one vanishes overnight and over two years later no one is any closer to finding out just what happened to them. Enter good old David who is contacted by a relative of some of the missing. What ensues is a twisty transatlantic multi decade tale of murder, mystery and deceit. My only criticism is that sometimes there just too many names and people involved and I kept thinking OMG who is that or having to backtrack to remind myself! I preferred I Am Missing but this was still really good and I can understand why both Tim and David have such a huge fan base. My thanks to NetGalley and Penguin, Michael Joseph for my ARC in return for an honest review.

No On Home is an exciting and enthralling crime thriller featuring the enigmatic investigator David Raker. Commissioned to look into the mysterious disappearance of nine villagers two years previously, he finds himself put into dangerous situations. Though this is the next in a series of books, it can be read as a standalone novel and will keep the reader gripped from the first page to the last.

Intriguing outlook that pulls you into an existing series. Looking forward to the next outing I think

this was absolutely fantastic, i could not stop reading i just had to know what had happened and i was just left mouth open in shock!! my book of the year so far!

Fascinating plot, keeps you guessing right to the end, a real page turner.I couldn't put it down. I will keep an eye out for this Author.

I have not come across Tim Weaver before, and was unaware that this book is part of a series, let alone the tenth. However, it can easily be read as a stand-alone thriller. Nine people in a small community all disappear on a single evening after a dinner party. More than two years later, the police have got nowhere and the case has gone cold.. Missing person investigator David Raker takes on the case, and enters a murky world of murder and secrets which spreads as far as the USA. It is a complex story with some genuine thrills and shocks. I very much enjoyed this book and shall definitely catch up with Raker’s previous cases.

A string crime thriller or mystery that keeps you guessing right to the very end. It seemed a bit long, but was very well written and well constructed

I feel dizzy, as if I’ve been on the highest roller coaster and gone round twice! What does 2 unsolved murders in LA have in common with 9 people who have just disappeared into thin air from a tiny village in Yorkshire? This is the tenth case for People Finder, David Daker to solve and it’s a corker, it really is. Twists and turns, ducking and diving, it has it all. Not a bedtime read as it’ll keep you awake - well it did me! Brilliant book and I enjoyed every minute I spent reading it.

This was an excellent read. Not something I would usually pick up but It had me hooked from the outset and throughout. Will be keeping an eye out for more in the future.

I haven’t read all of Tim Weaver’s Raker books but enough not to be fazed by the backstory of this one. However this time I felt there was something missing particularly towards the denouement. I liked the two parallel stories which had me wondering how they were going to overlap and I always enjoy the sense of tension the Raker books have. I can’t really put my finger on why this one didn’t deserve five stars but maybe it was the ending which felt a bit rushed.

I haven't read any of the David Raker books before but the book was very absorbing, lots 0f twists and turns and a whole village that goes missing. Bit of a flat conclusion.

A thought provoking thriller from the start. Tim Weaver has a way of keeping the reader engaged right from the start. Recommended read.

While I found this book a little slow to begin with once I had got a handle on who is who I found myself completely engrossed and desperate for answers.

One Halloween nine residents of a sleepy hamlet get together for a party. And then they just vanish, disappearing into thin air without a trace.

David Raker finds missing people and has been approached by one of the residents relatives to try to track down the missing people and/or find out what has happened to them. However, someone very clearly does not want David poking about which only makes him more determined.

Half a world away in America in the 70s Jo is a woman detective and a mum. She is caught up in a case which she is desperate to solve. The reader is left wondering what the connection between Jo and David Raker is and all becomes clear much later in the book.

Although these books are part of a series they can be read individually as stand alone. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Breathtakingly tense. I've had this for months and wasn't gripped by the title, hadn't heard of the author and had forgotten why I chose it, but after finally getting around to reading, I have now added all the others in the series to my list! This is dark and creepy, and has flashbacks which seem totally unconnected to the main plot, but it was like trying to solve the puzzle myself before the protagonist could - very enjoyable, twisty, complex and entertaining.

Wow, what a fantastic book this was to read. I was literally gripped from the off and couldn't wait to finish the book to see what happens! Initially I thought it a bit strange how the book was laid out but as you read on, you know why it was written like that. Can't but recommend it highly enough!

I have read one of the previous books in this series - I didn't realise there were 10! However, I don't really think that matter too much and I enjoyed this story on the whole, especially the setting in Yorkshire which is familiar to me. I did think it went on a bit and was a bit confusing and I was especially confused by the ending - I don't really understand why Tim Weaver wrote it in the way he did. Not my favourite book but it was okay.

A decent book but I am sure it would have been more interesting if the earlier books in the series had been read first.

It seemed like plenty of plot twists which I usually enjoy but I couldn’t quite engage with this one.

Again my fault as I didn't realise it was part of a series so I feel like I jumped in at the deep end. I was confused and possibly would have been less so if I had read earlier books. The story itself was well written.

Absolutely excellent book, thoroughly enjoyed it, blended events in the USA with the UK seamlessly, and I’d have no hesitation in recommending this book. Top marks, Mr Weaver!

On Halloween night, the nine residents of Black Gale get together for a dinner party. The next morning, the whole village has vanished. There are no bodies, no clues and no evidence, so the families of the disappeared residents hire an investigator, David Raker, to find out what happened. But is Raker looking for nine missing people, or nine dead bodies?

No One Home is the tenth David Raker book, but it works perfectly well as a standalone novel.

The premise of this book was so intriguing, I was really excited to start reading it, but I lost interest very quickly. I actually almost DNF’d this book a couple of times, but I don’t like not finishing books so I stuck with it in the hopes that it would grow on me. Unfortunately, it didn’t. I can’t pinpoint the exact reasons why I didn’t enjoy this story. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the writing, and the plot was sound and should have been exciting. But I just wasn’t drawn in. I didn’t feel any kind of connection at all with Raker or any of the other characters. After a certain point, I even stopped being interested in finding out what happened to the residents of Black Gale.

It’s probably worth a shot – it has very high ratings from other readers. This one just wasn’t for me.
