I have read all of Tim Weaver’s David Raker books and in my opinion they just keep getting better and better.
David Raker is a missing persons investigator and in this book he is looking into the disappearance of a group of 9 people who lived in a small village community. I did not have a clue as to what could have happened to them and even as the book progressed I was still in the dark.
In this novel, Tim Weaver uses different timelines to build the tension so not only is the reader sucked into the investigation in the present, they are also reading about a murder investigation and a disappearance in the 1980s led by Detective Jo Kader in LA. She is one of the first female cops on the homicide team and a real pioneer. She has a lot to deal with, not only in her investigation but also in the workplace where sexism is rife. I thought she was a great character and she had many similarities to Raker which worked well.
This is such a good novel in so many ways; it is finely layered and nuanced and the part that is set in the 80s is as gripping as Raker’s investigation in the current day.
I will not reveal too much more of the plot as I do not wish to spoil the enjoyment. If you are a David Raker fan that is great but it is equally possible to come to this book as a first time reader.
The end is very powerful and I had to reread it several times just to get clear in my head what had actually happened. Mr Weaver really goes to town on the timelines at this point and I found this incredibly compelling.
A massive 5 stars from me and I highly recommend to all crime thriller fans.

4.25 stars

I'm quite new to Raker,having missed the first eight books,but I'm enjoying him now I've discovered him.
An interesting idea ,a whole village (9 people) go missing... 
This was the first time in ages ,where I would be about to put the book down,but couldn't due to the cliffhanger.

Some of the story I guessed,some came as a surprise,all of it fitted nicely together.
Tense,nice pacing,clever ideas,good characters.... there's a lot to like in this book.
No complaints here.

I devoured this, as I have every other novel in this brilliant series, every time I review I say “this is the best one yet”. Well guess what? This IS the best one yet.

No One Home for a start has an excellent central premise, one that immediately intrigues just from the blurb. An entire village vanishes into the night…on Halloween no less…years later and our hero is hired to try and discover what happened.

So begins one of the twistiest mysteries I’ve read, the plotting is simply superb, to the point that telling you anything specific might well ruin the many many moments where you’ll stop briefly to turn things over in your head. The writing as always is spot on immersive, Tim Weaver has that intuitive, creative ability to character build and set the scene so that you sink into it, every moment a pure joy to read.

David Raker continues his personal journey here, as he does in every book, he is one of the most engaging and authentic characters in fiction currently. Whilst you can read every book on its own merits, there is a certain power behind the narrative if you read in order so that would be my recommendation. Don’t worry if it seems a lot, trust me you’ll blast through them in short order, every one is genuinely fantastic.

Back to No One Home and I’m not sure what else to say- a layered, nuanced and oft unpredictable tale, with an ending that has huge impact, powerfully emotional on every level. It’s actually no less than I’ve come to expect from this author but every single time he manages to floor me, something else that sets this series above the rest.

Without doubt highly recommended. I feel a binge worthy reread coming on…

Wow I just loved this one! The blurb had me really intrigued and the book didn’t let me down! Creepy as hell!
