Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,674
Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

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!!!!
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
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.

Carter Blake
I have listened to all of Mason Cross' Carter Blake books. They have all been excellent. I bought this because of this.
I must say this was good. But not as wonderful as his others. Now I did listen it in three days as I was driving. But is kept going on and on. I did not feel like I was getting anywhere. I will buy the next one. and as I have said this was good. But his others are great.

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.
