Relation In Favor Of Books Blood Memory

Forensic expert "Cat" Ferry has a stellar reputation until a panic attack paralyzes her at a New Orleans murder scene. Praying the attack is a one-time event, she continues working, but when the same killer strikes again - raising fears that a serial killer is at large - Cat blacks out over the victim's mutilated corpse. Suspended from the FBI task force, Cat returns to her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to regroup.

Though her colleagues know her as a world-class forensic odontologist, Cat lives a secret life. Plagued by nightmares, and deeply involved with a married homicide detective, Cat holds herself together with iron nerves and alcohol, using her work as a substitute for life.

But her family's secluded antebellum estate provides no sanctuary. When some of Cat's forensic chemicals are spilled in her childhood bedroom, two bloody footprints are revealed. This discovery sets in motion a quest to piece together Cat's past - buried memories that could tie her father's murder to the grisly deaths occurring in New Orleans in the present. For only by finding this remorseless killer can Cat save her sanity - and her life.

Critique Regarding Books Blood Memory
A dark, disturbing, passionate, and horrific novel of sexual child abuse, violence, killing, suicide, depression, and mystery. This was a well written book, which contains one of the best female characters created by a male author I have ever read. The powerful first person narrative propelled me from the first page to the last with startling speed. The combination of repressed memory, forensic dentistry, incest, and psychology make this a read that is not for everyone because of its unsettling

That's what crime fiction stories does to you.. read it in just 4 days apart from having the usual office work.. It's a thrill all around.. at the start it takes few pages to register the proceedings but as you go along.. there's a a great emotional connect with it.. it has two stories going side by side as Greg unfolds both and draws a parallel... A nice read...

An airplane book. Fast reading but overly long. This was typical Greg Iles in that it was violent and graphic. It was also unbelievable. I simply cannot understand how the protagonist managed to scamper from Nachez to New Orleans and then back again (even getting dunked in a river after being shot) repeatedly without packing a suitcase. But she did. I guess what put me off to this is the credence given to the repressed memory movement and the suggestion that child sexual abuse can cause bipolar

If you want to read a book with plot twists on plot twists, all dealing with a very taboo subject, this is the book for you. At first I was mildly disappointed because this was so much different from the other Iles novels I've read, but that rapidly wore off as I got into it. A lengthy novel, for Iles, but once I got into it, it was hard to put down.

I went back and forth on this book. It is a good/fast read and I did enjoy it, but I really hated the protagonist. I mean she defined bitch for me and I didn't sympathize with her. She dated a married man, and felt no responsiblity for it (event though she knew he was married). She got pregnant by him. She always made the wrong decisions when it came to her job. She got people killed and didn't seem to care as long as she got what she wanted in the end. I know I sound terribly b/c you find out

This is my second Greg Iles novel and of course not the last. I plan on following up with "Turning Angel" next; at some point. Catherine Ferry aka "Cat"; a forensic odontology expert; is the prime protagonists in this particular novel. She has to deal with child abuse and repressed/recovered memories throughout. The provocative tale with dark and twisted secrets contribute to a storyline that Greg Iles fans will appreciate as any fan of this genre would. This particular story did fill in a

This book reads like a great episode of Law and Order: SVU. I hope that doesn't give away anything but I really felt this was a 2-hour episode of one of my favorite shows. This was a lightening fast read for me although it took me almost 5 days to finish. It wasn't because the read is boring... I'm just too lazy to read over the weekend. One review I read classified the main character as a person they really hated and couldn't believe she was as awful as she was. Given all the circumstances of
