Product Information

But when Mary Towne employs him to find her son Alex, he doesn't realise what torments he is letting himself in for. Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Vanished by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen and Andrew Brooke. The point for me was I found I liked the character of David Raker and cared about what happened to him which made some of the more brutal bits hard to take at times. Another friend, Cormac, has since found superstardom peddling self-consciously "authentic" rock music that actually averts its gaze from the most painful truths of their shared past. Initially it had the power to engross, but as the story went on it became a dire farce and totally ridiculous in its crafting.

The final showdown is an unintelligible mess that left me rereading the pages multiple times, trying to visualize how the actions described actually occurred. Tim Weaver certainly has a style of writing that keeps you reading, at the expense of wanting to do anything else. 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. With interesting characters and a gripping writing style, you will not be able to put down the book.

You won't be disappointed, and the eerie apprehensive feeling won't stop you from shivering until you reach the final pages. Went into it based upon my love for Joe's other books I read (No Doors, No Windows and Death troopers) but what I got was a different taste of his works all together. Secondly, the book is perfectly paced - with action where action is needed and a more sedate "humming along" just when you need to get your breath back.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. David è un protagonista credibile, un uomo spezzato dal dolore per la perdita subita e consapevole dei suoi limiti, combattuto tra il desiderio di aiutare una donna che ha provato il suo stesso tormento e quello di continuare a lasciarsi andare; dotato di grande intelligenza e acume, David saprà cavarsela anche in situazioni disperate, mostrando di sapersi adattare grazie alla sua esperienza di reporter, ma soprattutto mostrerà di avere fede e molto coraggio nell’affrontare le proprie paure. As a YA horror, it has a balance of blood and action, a couple nude scenes (but no sex), an easy-to-follow plot, and "summary" explanations toward the end.
