One of my FAVORITE series...
Mason Cross's Carter Blake series is one of my favorites. His books don't get any where near the attention they deserve. I didn't even know this had been published until I looked him up to see if he had anything in the wings yet to be released. Glad I looked!
Anyway, as with the previous books this one is fantastic and the narration by Eric Meyers is first class as well.
When Carter Blake goes to the town he lived for a while as a child, it's for the funeral of his foster mother. He didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance. She's in the business of helping to find missing people but she's no where near the skill level Blake is. She asks for help on a case of a woman (Adeline) whose been presumed dead for 15 years. Fifteen years ago there was a serial killer in the mountains of this isolated town. Her brother swears he saw her from a bus only weeks earlier, so he hires a private investigator. That man turns up murdered. The PI's witness is also murdered. Then people around town who might have information for Blake start being picked off.
There are so many suspects and the evidence points from one to the next. I thought I had it, then I thought I had it again but I was wrong again! That almost never happens to me!!
This book is so cleverly written. Blake is a very proficient and resourceful investigator and the story and his character kept me listening. And the ending... WOW!! Completely unexpected...
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!!

Thank You.

Incredible plot twist at the end!
PRESUMED DEAD, Book 5 in the Carter Blake series by Mason Cross, is an easy 5 star crime suspense mystery/thriller. Author Mason Cross deserves much more attention. All 5 novels in the Carter Blake series are outstanding. This novel is a serial killer mystery covering 15 years set in northwest Georgia. The identification of the killer revealed at the end of the novel is a shocking surprise. Eric Meyers narrates this series superbly.
As I write this is see the average rating of Presumed Dead is 4.2 stars. The novel is actually much, much better than 4.2 stars.

loved this series
A great plot, good characters, it is laid out well and very thought out, with lots of twists and turns. It took me a long time to work out who the killer was and then I found out I was wrong. It has some thrills a few chills and a lot of excitement. It was a very good listen that I totally enjoyed. I even bought a few other of this authors audios. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to jump in the book to help out the victims.
I thought the narrator did a good job, there was one time where he repeated one word and I really wasn't sure if that was a repeat or not. He has a pleasant voice, easy to listen to and his character voices were very nice. I almost always knew who was talking and what they were feeling. There is no volume change, no background noise really is a very clean audio. I totally enjoyed this and look forward to listening to more of his work.
Very good series, look forward to listening to more of their work

Wow who woulda thunk it?
I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the Carter Blake series. They all involved twists and turns galore. But, this one had me guessing wrong almost from the very beginning. Well, wrong but not really wrong - without spoiling it for you I will tell you to keep an open mind.

This last book of the series is as good as one would expect of Mason Cross. The story, however, takes a last turn that is unexpected, dramatic, and interesting, but also a little far fetched at the same time.

Worth the Credit new Cross fan here
This book was the best out of the three I listened to from this author. Winterlong and Don’t Look For Me went together. They were free but were good enough to get me to spend a credit for this one and I’m glad I did.
Although, I was so glad this story did Not tie into the other two books, I think it would have been stale and annoying. This was a solid story that kept my interest all the way through.

I somehow fell upon this author by accident. I love to read and I devour books and series like these. A likable main character very Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher kinda guy. If you like Mark Dawson you will enjoy this series. This was by far the most enjoyable of the series. The twist in the end was slightly predictable would have liked to know more of why. Wished it was longer and can’t wait to see what Mason Cross comes up with next in the series.

Top notch crime thriller.
Mason Cross and Carter Blake are definitely at the top of my 'must-read and must-listen when I can't read' list! The experience was definitely enhanced by the excellent narration of Eric Meyers and I find that is often not the case. So highly recommended on all counts.
