The story in Home takes place approximately one year after the events of Live Wire (2011), during which time the Win character has been in hiding. Some of the character histories referenced are actually revealed in the spinoff Mickey Bolitar books, a series of three young adult novels featuring Myron Bolitar's nephew. The stories in those three novels precede the events of Home.
The Real Book Spy notes that: "Dedicated fans are treated to a number of juicy tidbits and inside jokes. And, for the first time ever, several chapters are told in the first-person narrative through Win's perspective, allowing readers an inside look at the thinking and personality of Myron's sidekick like never before." Jackie K. Cooper at Huffington Post writes: "The word 'home' refers to many things in this book … Coben takes all of these definitions and blends them together to make this an exciting but reflective story. There is an element of brutality in some parts, but elsewhere there are warm and fuzzy moments. Neither is used in the extreme."
