review 1: I was most pleasantly surprised at the quality of this 'free' ebook. Mr Lindsay tells a wonderful story with lovable characters, an 'unable to put down' story of intrigue, mystery and incredible violence in Northern Australia. The relationship between the Aboriginals and the whites in that country is evident through the author's writings and brings to mind a quick comparison to the atrocities and bigotry in the treatment of blacks and Native Americans in the U.S. although what is depicted and discussed in this book might be close to worse in may respects.Drew Lindsay is an author to keep an eye on. The short list of his published work is, I am sure, soon to be taken in a much deeper and glorious direction in a extremely short time.As write this, I am already half way thro... moreugh another Drew Lindsay mystery! OUTSTANDING!!!
review 2: “Black Mountain Affair” is a riveting, fascinating, mystery set in Far Northern Australia, in a territory once inhabited only by Aborigines, later settled by whites in what was often a bloody and violent confrontation. At sacred Black Mountain, where the fauna is often dangerous, including carnivorous “ghost bats,” two Aboriginal women-mother and daughter-are discovered, brutally murdered, in a cave. Next one of the investigating police detectives is killed while at the residence of a potential suspect. The brutal deaths don’t end here. Out there somewhere is a serial killer with a vengeance, and a hidden agenda the police cannot unravel.The multicultural foundation of this novel is fascinating, and the author interweaves the socioeconomic conflicts between the native Aboriginals and the Caucasian culture. This is a true page-turner; this reviewer could not set it aside. The author’s perception of the multicultural, socioeconomic, caste, and historical layers of this region of Australia would be worth reading. In addition, Drew Lindsay weaves a taut and complelling, multilayered, and very complex mystery which keeps us guessing throughout. less
