Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Never Coming Back by Tim Weaver, read by Joe Coen and Adam James.

A secret that will change lives forever . . .


It was supposed to be the start of a big night out. But when Emily Kane arrives at her sister Carrie's house, she finds the front door unlocked and no one inside. Dinner's cooking, the TV's on. Carrie, her husband and their two daughters are gone.

When the police draw a blank, Emily asks missing persons investigator David Raker to find them. It's clear someone doesn't want the family found.

But as he gets closer to the truth, Raker begins to uncover evidence of a sinister cover-up, spanning decades and costing countless lives. And worse, in trying to find Emily's missing family, he might just have made himself the next target . . .

Weaver needs to keep Coen

Narration is always good. I think with audio books this is absolutely key.

Weaver again creates good imagery and fantastic stories, which is clearly well researched

Excellent and gripping

For a few years I've been trying to read the hard copy of this book. Twice I got halfway through before having to start reading it again due to the break I had between reading.

I downloaded the audiobook, which made it so much easier to take in everything that was happening.

Another great story by Tim Weaver.

Yet another outstanding thriller

Tim Weaver does it again! Yet another outstanding thriller. He clearly goes to great lengths to research his storylines to produce stories with intrigue and excitement in bucket loads!! No flimsy,
predictable stories here! And it goes without saying that Joe Coen is excellent in his narration and his accents making the listen all the more enjoyable. His skill in portraying David Raker is exemplary and allows the listener to really get in tune with the character. Adam James is also fabulous adding an extra dimension. I can’t say enough great things about Tim, Joe, Adam and the production team. Just amazing.

Never Coming Back

Having listened to Tim Weaver's David Raker 'Missing' series in an strange non-linear way it was useful to put certain plot points into place. Having suffered horrendous wounds and dying on the operating theatre, Raker is living back in south Devon and soon becomes embroiled in his teenage sweetheart's missing family case.

This was a long book, over 14 hours, so the plot was pretty detailed. Some of it was rather far-fetched and relied on councidences. Also, as I've said before about the character of David Raker, he doesn't really leap off of the pages as being particularly human. The human body can only take *so* much punishment, so, considering that this is only book #4 it is fairly unrealistic.

That said, I've read or listened to all of them now and they're still enjoyable. The narrators were excellent.
