About this deal

Written by Tim Weaver — At the end of Tim Weaver’s last book, You Were Gone, there were distinct signs that David Raker’s old pal Bryan Kennedy was about to make a reappearance. That promise has been kept, and at the start of this week Raker and Bryan – AKA the supposedly long dead and buried ex-co Colm Healy – are reunited in a case that’s set to tax both of them to their very limits. 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... During several shots, the brow areas of the Constructicons are miscoloured, swapping colours on occasions.

I can see why many people love the book and it does have elements that I greatly enjoyed - and yes, there were parts that made me think about Haunting of Hill House. The problem is that I think that the actual mystery about the house itself was explained away while at the same time it wasn’t explained enough - does that even make sense? :D Really hard to explain without spoiling. This book was inspired by the history of the century homes of Shaker Heights, Ohio-a real place, two real murders, and one rumor.... NO ONE’S HOME is a song about the game Beholder 3, a game where totalitarian state that controls everything and everyone through oppressive laws, total surveillance, and intimidation. There is excellent writing here as always and the scene setting is good. The tension and pace were fairly low key to me for quite sometime however the end brings a very high level of both. I doubt many people would wish to put this down in the latter stages.Bumblebee leaks oil in a manner that is analogous to either blood or bodily waste. The Constructicons find said oil delicious. For whatever reasons, this episode never aired in Japan, but is included in the Transformers Animated Vol. 7 DVD as episode 27.

I was hooked from beginning to end. A dark, thrilling rollercoaster of a read that is not only unputdownable but has heart' Claire Douglas

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 ☺️. We will fight them in the kitchens! We will fight them in the recrooms! We will fight them in the living rooms! He adds: “No one leaves home if the hurt that will come is greater than the hurt that they will leave behind. No one leaves if the ocean will swallow them up. No one leaves home, if there is peace. As a refugee there is only ever half of you in one place; because you have left of you where you have come from, and half of you is rejected where you arrive.”
