No One Home: The must-read Richard & Judy thriller pick and Sunday Times bestseller (David Raker Missing Persons, 10)

Product Information

Deanna Rodger is from London. Both her parents are also British. “I was born in Britain, my name doesn’t sound particularly foreign, so in an application no one would know I am a different colour – until they met me.” When they see she isn’t white, she has to face the assumption that she isn’t from London. “This makes me laugh, it’s a bit ridiculous,” she reflects. This is what prompted her to write her poem Being British, which breaks apart the three questions she gets asked all the time: “Where are you from?” (To which she replies London, or Fulham). Followed by: “What country?” (To which she replies England). And this is always followed by: “Where are your parents from?” Racism is “the most terrifying and amusing thing at the same time,” she says. Two and a half years later, it remains a mystery. Desperate for answers, the families of the missing turn to investigator David Raker. Warsan Shire was born in Kenya to Somali parents and lives in London. She is a poet, writer, editor and teacher. In 2013-2014, she was the Young Poet Laureate for London. Summary: An intriguing story about an entire village vanishing, but one which ultimately has a long, drawn out plot. There's a general similarity between this episode and the movie Home Alone. Sari quotes Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin (see above), Scrapper acts as dumb as Daniel Stern's character Marv, and Mixmaster has always sounded like Joe Pesci...

Note - I received an advance digital copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair review The main inspiration behind the song was Gaga’s fear of suffocation as she felt that she seldom found time to just let loose and have fun. Anyway, despite the few quibbles about the ending, the book and this series as a whole is well worth reading. As I've said before, these books are a guaranteed good time and will remain on my must-read list till the end of the line.No one home by Time Weaver is the 10th book in the David Raker series. But it also could be read as a standalone. It was somewhat complicated to remember what details belong to which story but it was brilliantly written and kept me hooked. When Blitzwing leaves the Decepticon base, Megatron gives him one barrel of oil, but when he meets up with the Constructicons, he has two. Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the free electronic copy of this novel and for giving me the opportunity to provide an honest review.

Fans of this compelling series know all about Colm/Bryan but for the uninitiated, former Met murder detective Healy faked his own death, Raker helped him do it, and if their deception is ever discovered they’ll both end up in jail. Sode recently performed at the Southbank Centre as part of the Africa Utopia festival and he is an active member of the spoken word scene, where he performs as GREEdS (Generating Rhymes To Engage The EnlighteneD Soul). He can be followed here. Pulley knows how to create an atmospheric setting, and this old house has it all! Lights that go on and off, doors that randomly open and close, an old dried bloodstain in the attic, secret passages, a creepy wine cellar and an evil presence that lingers behind you as if constantly peering over your shoulders. It doesn’t get much better than that! I could vividly picture the setting, and it gave me goosebumps. In brief - Tense, pacey, twisty. Not the best Raker for me but far from the worst. 4.5 out of 5 but it's Raker so rounded up ☺️.After 2.5 years later, remaining an unresolved mystery, the relatives of the residents decide to hire David Raker, a detective famous for finding missing people.

So, as you will gather there’s an undercurrent from the off, with Raker keen to keep Healy under wraps, and Healy chafing at being kept in the shadows and on the sidelines. Because it’s a case that he’s been quietly investigating which Raker is now about to take on – and what a case! Bulkhead launching Prowl at Blitzwing is remarkably similar to the " Fastball Special" maneuver from the X-Men comics, in which Colossus uses his super-strength to launch Wolverine at villains.From the moment I read the intriguing premise for this book, I couldn't wait to dive in - and I wasn't disappointed. A clever and original plot, expertly executed' Rachel Abbott
