ABOUT THIS BOOK: It starts out as a sad but hopeless case of mistaken identity. A year after the death of her son Alex, Mary Towne is convinced she's seen him alive - and wants missing persons investigator David Raker to find him. Reluctant at first, but haunted by a loss of his own, Raker eventually agrees.

Primo volume di una trilogia incentrata sulla figura dell’ex reporter David Raker, Morte sospetta è una grande opera d’esordio, un romanzo ricco di spunti e colpi di scena che riesce a catturare l’attenzione del lettore e, cosa molto importante, riesce a coinvolgerlo in quella che si rivela essere una vera e propria lotta contro il tempo.

Η γραφή του εξελίχθηκε σοβαρά και κατάφερε να μας προσφέρει ένα θρίλερ που διαβάζεται απνευστί και σε αφήνει άναυδο. Η ιστορία συνοπτικά έχει ως εξής: Ο Ντέιβιντ Ρέικερ, πρώην δημοσιογράφος και νυν ερευνητής εξαφανισμένων προσώπων, προσλαμβάνεται από τους γονείς ενός 17χρονου κοριτσιού, της Μέγκαν, η οποία έχει εδώ και 7 μήνες εξαφανιστεί, χωρίς η αστυνομία να μπορεί να βρει το παραμικρό ίχνος για την τύχη της. As before looking forward to seeing where Weaver takes this next. Learning more about the main character's life and how he's moving forward after a tragic loss is the obvious highlight but thankfully the cases he's working on aren't just sub-par filler and do keep me intrigued. Tim Weaver (8 May 2010). "Trying hard to have a baby | Life and style". The Guardian . Retrieved 1 September 2013.Di David Raker viene detto: “Ti manca quel meccanismo che avverte le persone quando il troppo è troppo. Non sai quando fermarti. Continui a tappare buchi in giro per il mondo solo perché sai cosa si prova a perdere una persona, e non vuoi che nessun altro debba sopportarlo. Lo stai facendo per LEI. Il caso dell’anno scorso era per LEI. E anche questo. Stai riempiendo il vuoto che si è lasciata dietro accollandoti le sofferenze degli altri. Io non posso competere con questo.” Tim: I’ve just always grown up reading series characters, so the idea felt very natural to me. Authors like Michael Connelly were the reason I wanted to become a thriller writer in the first place, and I loved how Bosch changed from novel to novel. Each time he was slightly different. I also like the scope a series character gives you: you can build a world, and you can progress it, rather than having to build it all over again, every time. That’s not to say I wouldn’t like to have a bash at writing a standalone because I very definitely would, but I like the dynamics of a series. To me it’s like different seasons of a TV show: the events of one season impacts on those that follow, changing the character you get to know so well, in subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways. A gripping plot, a creepy atmosphere and a mystic aura over it. At some point though I started to worry that it would turn into a paranormal story, so weird it was! Thanks God, no genre changing. But still, I found the second part of the book a bit too much: there were just TOO MANY life-threatening situations for one person in one book. I am glad that David managed to escape every time he was almost killed, but it started to get on my nerves and the whole "OMG" and "THANKS GOD HE DID IT AGAIN" became less credible.

But despite the hundreds of people who went missing every day of every year, I'm not sure that I ever expected to make a living out of trying to find them. It never felt like a job; not in the way that journalism had. And yet, after a while, when the money really started coming in, Derryn persuaded me to rent some office space down the road from our home, in an effort to get me out, but also - more than that, I think - to convince me I could make a career out of what I was doing.Ayo: Were you a reader of crime fiction before you started writing it and if so can you remember the very first crime novel that you read? Chasing the Dead is the first book in the extremely popular David Raker series which was published in 2010 and the latest book (10) No One Home is being published in May 2019. But whatever the reason, I found it increasingly difficult to maintain any constant level of interest. I struggled to finish, and once I had, felt relieved to have done so.

Tim Weaver said that he decided to write a series about a guy who investigates missing persons in the modern times because he finds it interesting that in this day and age with all kinds of cameras recording everything on every street at all times as well as all day and night news that people still go missing. He also thought that it was interesting how many stories there have to be when someone vanishes.The reason I'm wavering between three and four stars is because whilst I really enjoyed it on the most part, it kept me up till 3am reading, the ending was a little ridiculous. I did really enjoy how the loose ends were tied up, as for one moment I was convinced it wasn't going to.

THE DEBUT THRILLER IN THE BESTSELLING DAVID RAKER MISSING PERSONS SERIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF MO HAYDER, LINWOOD BARCLAY AND MICHAEL CONNELLY This, on the one hand, kept me at the edge of my seat. On the other...REALLY DAVID?!? REALLY?! ARE YOU THAY STUPID OMG ran through my mind a lot. It was annoying. But so did OMG NO WHY?! and OH. OH SHIT. WASN'T EXPECTING THAT. But overall, there were twist and turns I expected but HOLY ENDING I did not. Tim Weaver έχω συναντήσει. Μέχρι να καταλάβω πώς συνδέονται τα κομμάτια του παζλ, μέχρι να γνωρίσω τους νέους χαρακτήρες, μέχρι να φτάσω στο σημείο τομής ξεδιπλώθηκε μπροστά μου ένα κείμενο γεμάτο ενδιαφέροντες δισυπόστατους πρωταγωνιστές και κομπάρσους κι ένας κόσμος γεμάτος μυστικά και ψέματα, τα οποία ο ντετέκτιβ Ρέικερ αγωνίζεται να ξεδιαλύνει ώστε να ενώσει τα κομμάτια του παζλ και ταυτόχρονα να παραμείνει ακέραιος και ηθικός, παρά το βάρος που κουβαλάει. Tim: He does have a sad personal life, but again I wanted to try to aim for something a little different. There’s a great tradition in the genre of detectives avenging the murder of a loved one – I’m thinking of brilliant books like Every Dead Thing here – so I didn’t want to compete directly with that. Raker’s wife dies after a long and ultimately unsuccessful battle with breast cancer, and I think, in many ways, he does what he does – and goes as far as he does – to fill the gap she’s left behind. But, perhaps more importantly than even that, her death runs parallel to his work as an investigator: she’s not missing like the people he’s trying to find, but she’s missing from his life and, for him, that’s enough. This book is quite an intense thriller. Exciting and intense, although I think a little over the top occasionally. However this definitely kept my interest throughout, and had me guessing absolutely way off course.Tim Weaver is an English novelist born in 1977 in Bath, England.
