Narration In Pursuance 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.Particularize Books During 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 unsettlingQuick summertime read. Very dark book, but a page turner. I enjoyed it, but avoid if you don't like dark books and sexual abuse.
Blood Memory is about a lot of things; how a small evidence could lead to an unimaginable truth about one's past, of the family's past and a bitter tragedy would lead to bitter memories! I was fascinated by the flow of the story, how beautifully one thing lead to another.. Repressed memories, child abuses, its consequences and the determination of a lady to know the truth! I will not regret reading this one just a couple of days before an important exam! :)
Between the blatant talk of mental illness, and childhood sexual trauma, this novel blew my mind. Having suffered from both of these things, to see it so plainly written by one of my favourite authors, was amazing, gut wrenching and oddly beautiful. Greg Iles has never ceased to amaze me, with his ability to completely captive me from page one, as well as write from the female perspective. This novel is gritty and profound. Its not a fun read, with your heart and head swirling and hurting at the
It has been a long time since I started a book that I could not put down until I finished. (Well, I did put it down about 1 this morning to sleep). Set in New Orleans and Natchez, the setting is a winner for me. The main character is at first sight an accomplished professional, but as her story unravels we are drawn into a world of child abuse and repressed memories, murder, and the old South.
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
Everything about this book makes me think that Greg Iles is too good to be true. He did everything against the rules--a male writing from a female character's point of view, making the main character so incredibly flawed that it blows your mind, having a supporting character that accepts those flaws without question. He was able to blend the touchy subjects of sexual abuse, race relations, and economic class differences into one hell of a whirlwind ride. This was the first Greg Iles book I've
