lunababymoonchild Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Presumed Dead is the fifth and last book in the Carter Blake series. Amazon put it better : 'What do you know about the Devil Mountain Killer?' THEN Adeline Connor was the Devil Mountain Killer's final victim. After she was gunned down, the murderer disappeared and the killing spree ended. NOW Carter Blake has been hired to do what he does best: to find someone. But this time he's hunting a dead girl - Adeline Connor's brother is convinced she's still alive. But this town doesn't want an outsider digging up old business. And as Blake gets deeper into the case, it starts to become clear that the murders didn't ju st stop fifteen years ago. The killer is on the hunt again. A satisfying crime novel that's well written and interesting. I guessed the protagonist fairly early on but that didn't spoil the story and the story is a good one. Well rounded characters, a good plot and plenty of action. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his name he's a Glaswegian author so that may be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
France Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Is there a prejudice against Glasweigian authors? I must admit that I can't think of any but I don't really register where authors are from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that his name was chosen to appeal to the American market because it doesn't sound Glaswegian. I thought that you might not have heard of him because he's Glaswegian.

Madeleine Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've not heard of him either, Scottish noir is quite popular now so I'm surprised he hasn't got a higher profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
