After a heart condition sidelined him from his job as an FBI agent, Terry McCaleb was fortunate enough to receive the transplant he desperately needed. While he’s recovering, though, a newspaper article leads Graciela Rivers to his houseboat. Graciela tells McCaleb the story of her sister, Gloria, who was shot and killed in an apparently random convenience store robbery. She thinks McCaleb might be willing to help her investigate her sister’s death, she tells him, because Gloria’s heart is the one that saved his life.
Compelled to help Graciela find the man who killed her sister, McCaleb unofficially puts himself on the case, much to the dismay of the detectives who originally investigated the crime. And as he starts to track down clues, he realizes that this might not have been just another random crime. He connects the crime to others—and he’s horrified to discover that the victims have one important thing in common.
Despite the fact that this book was once a monstrous 500+ pages long, the three-hour-long version is spectacular. While there will always be a few details that get lost along the way, you won’t even miss them. The story comes together almost seamlessly.
Connelly creates a gripping story that’s fast-paced and emotionally-charged. Listeners will easily be able to relate to McCaleb—which is usually hard to do in such a short time. His unusual connection to the case—and the unexpected conclusion—will keep you on your toes. If you’re planning a short road trip—or if you’re sick of the talk shows on your morning commute—you can’t go wrong with Blood Work.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
