I picked this up after a recommendation from a friend, expecting to find another good,if not shiny new, addition to the crime fiction genre. Escucha audiolibros narrados por las mejores voces españolas e internacionales y llévalos contigo allá donde vayas.

Missing persons investigator David Raker doesn’t want the work: it’s clearly a sad but hopeless case of mistaken identity brought to him by a woman unable to let go of her son.Chasing the Dead introduces David Raker, a grieving widower who, using the investigative skills honed in his former profession as a reporter, now finds missing people. It's a shame this book was promoted as a thriller because it's quite clearly a supernatural horror, although reads like an action packed thriller. Worse, it doesn't explain - or provide an adequate one - certain aspects of the mythology that seem as though they would be just a teensy bit more important.

Alex was supposed to have died in a car accident a year before but his body could only be identified through dental records - but a month ago Mary saw Alex walking through London, hence her plea to Raker to investigate.

MY THOUGHTS: Chasing the Dead by Tim Weaver is an excellent start to a series that I have been reading in a piecemeal manner. To begin with I was a little bit put off by the constant references the main character – David – kept making about his wife yet with time these simply came to be a part of the story and I welcomed them as they gave David more depth than I had originally expected. The change is wonderfully done, finally giving you a protagonist who is entirely human, and yet, heroic in his own way.

But I also know him from "Red Harvest," which is one of the worst Star Wars novels I have ever read. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. And as you read that last page I hope you feel, much like I did, that last cold chill creep up your spine. Chasing The Dead is the first in the David Raker series, book two is Dead Tracks, book three is Vanished and the fourth, Never Coming Back is due for release in Sept 2013. DISCLOSURE: I listened to the audiobook of Chasing the Dead by Tim Weaver, narrated by Michael Healy, and published by Penguin, via Overdrive.But Schreiber does more than that by including the creation of a centuries-old Puritanical child-killer whose influence and power extends into the present, very creepy invention and something that separates this novel from the similarity of rest of the pack of like-minded stories. I have to say though that I enjoyed Vanished a lot more hence the 4 stars for this one which doesn't mean this is any less worthy but I guess that's the way it is sometimes, we all have our favourites.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. It starts off like a regular mystery novel, but things begin to get really interesting when blood starts to flow. The voice on the other end of the line somehow knows Sue’s deepest, most chilling secret–an ominous incident from her past, buried long ago. There’s an interesting premise/hook here that careens off the rails about a third of the way through, the story-line never finding its way back to even mindless entertainment.I would feel horrible if I gave something away before a person has a chance to read this great book. I enjoyed this book very much and like most people, thought this was going to be a book about some woman saving her daughter from some creepy stalker. It begins to introduce more overtly supernatural elements - which isn't really a problem, in my view - and makes it more apparent that our plucky heroine is not dealing with an I Know What You Did Last Summer revenge scenario.
