It won't be my last. I found it totally addictive. A couple of moments were almost too macbre , (even for me), but now I'm finding it hard to concentrate on any other book.

Unforutnately, Cleave's earlier books haven't been published in the USA yet - so the only option at the moment is to purchase Aust/NZ versions (or some of the European versions, if you can read French/German etc) - eg purchase online and import into the USA. <br /><br />However, Cleave's US-based publisher, Simon & Schuster, who have published his fourth (BLOOD MEN, 2010) and fifth (COLLECTING COOPER, 2011) titles, I understand may look to publish his backlist, including THE CLEANER and THE KILLING HOUR in question. <br /><br />Another option it to contact Cleave directly, via his website (www.paulcleave.co.nz).Kiwicraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687089028299093360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-90832849811525669702011-11-19T11:00:17.555+13:002011-11-19T11:00:17.555+13:00I've looked everywhere - why can't I find ...I've looked everywhere - why can't I find "The Cleaner" or "The Killing Hour" to purchase in the USA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-62753651627692257572010-08-06T05:57:00.914+12:002010-08-06T05:57:00.914+12:00I have almost finished reading Cemetery Lake, and ...I have almost finished reading Cemetery Lake, and I still can't find much humour, dark or otherwise in this book.

I think he is not only up there with the best, but surpasses them. The sometimes alarmingly macabre details are brilliantly balanced with humour. His understanding of the psychopathic mind is amazing. And he just keeps getting better...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-16518198763070442552009-08-20T11:27:54.015+12:002009-08-20T11:27:54.015+12:00Having read a copy of the manuscript, I can say th...Having read a copy of the manuscript, I can say that in my opinion Blood Men is his best novel yet.
