Relation Concering 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.Rating Containing Books Blood Memory

This book kept me turning the pages. A disturbing tale that has just about everything to keep the reader's attention. There are many characters that you love to hate, and those that you love because of their strength and neverending courage. A plot that is so rich that you find yourself trying to solve the mystery before the Author does. There are also many twists and turns that keep your heart pumping vigorously. Nothing here is really predictable, and I loved the characters, the plot,A very dark and brooding tale from author Greg Iles, "Blood Memory" is an exceptional mystery thriller with punch. This murky novel comes out of the worst parts of New Orleans, and Natchez, MI. Forensic odontologist Catherine "Cat" Ferry is assisting local police tracking a serial killer who bites the victim before shooting them. Working with Detective Sean Regan, Cat is in free fall emotionally creating havoc on this case. Carrying on a relationship with the married Regan, Cat realizes she's
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
This is my second Greg Iles book. I really enjoy his writing and his way of telling a story. I love how the mystery unfolds/the case is solved, etc. like other reviewers, I wasn't the biggest fan of the protagonist. Cat doesn't come across as too warm or friendly but I don't think she is meant to. Already emotionally and physically worn out. She is an alcoholic going through withdraw, pregnant with her married lover's baby, on leave from her job she returns home to hidden family secrets(horrible
This being my seventh Greg Iles book, it's unique as compared to others. Set in both Natchez and New Orleans, the narrative is an emotionally troubled female which Greg executes with perfection. Cat Ferry's life explodes in the midst of an investigation of a mysterious serial murderer. In parallel, her desire to uncover the childhood death of her father, illuminates how she was abused, the root of her troubles as an adult. Her dreams expose some of the pieces; as she slowly assembles them, 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
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
