Healy is in prison and Raker is desparate to speak to him as the Police are pushing him for information following Healy faking his own death, and Raker helping him with other stuff. But will he reach him in time? As a fervent enthusiast of Tim Weaver's captivating David Raker series, I embarked on the twelfth instalment, "The Last Goodbye," with high expectations. Let me assure you, dear readers, that those expectations were not only met but exceeded. With its intricate web of events and constant sense of urgency, this novel effortlessly ensnares your attention from start to finish. All her life she has wondered what happened and hopes missing person investigator, David, can bring her closure. Former journalist turned missing person’s investigator David Raker is under investigation himself. His last case revealed a man living under an assumed identity, one Raker had himself helped to create. But, as the police circle Raker is focussed on a new missing person enquiry, helping an adult woman discover why her mother disappeared when she was five years old.

THE LAST GOODBYE - TIM WEAVER | Bestselling author

Raker is hired by Rebekah Murphy to find out what happened to her mother, Fiona, who vanished on Boxing Day 1985 as she has recently received a card claiming to be from Fiona. Meanwhile Tom Brenner and his son Leo go into a fairground haunted house and don’t come out. What links the two disappearances? At every turn, when David feels he’s solved one mystery, at least another two emerge and he feels as if he’s getting further from the truth. To make matters worse, his friend, former Metropolitan Police Officer Colm Healy – a man most assumed to be dead – is in prison and a couple of officers are pressuring him to make a full confession, which would, undoubtedly, result in David losing his freedom too.While this story appears to carry on only a short while after the last one in the series, it’s not necessary to have read it or any of the previous books to read this. Another half-minute and the people who’d been standing behind the mother and the twins come out of the ride. Then the ones behind them, then the ones behind them. It’s like a conveyor belt of people, one after the next, heading in and then coming out. And with his closest ally under arrest and about to reveal some truths of his own, the danger to Raker is coming from all sides . . .__________

This book is quite far into the David Raker series and I am ashamed to say that this is the first book in the series I have read, despite owning a few. I can safely say now that it won’t be my last! So this is book 12 in the David Raker series, I have missed some prior to this, but it actually didn't seem to matter.Another thirty-two seconds pass and then the mother and her twins exit. One of the twins is crying. The mother tries to comfort them as they move out of shot. As I've said although this is book 12 in the series, It can be read as a standalone because there are references to past events but they are briefly explained, which helps the reader to connect with the characters. It always amazes me how authors manage to not only invent new stories for long-running characters but also keep the books fresh, Tim Weaver is an artist at that!
