About this listen

Catherine "Cat" Ferry is a forensic odontologist, a specialist in bite marks and the clues they provide. But while Cat's colleagues know her as a world-class scientist, she secretly attempts to manage her fragile psyche with alcohol, delving into the minds of rapists and murderers yet never allowing her own frightening past to creep into the foreground.

Cat's latest case involves a disturbing murder in New Orleans. Banishing her personal demons, she focuses on the potential killer, until one morning she's paralyzed by a panic attack at a grisly murder scene. Praying the attack is a onetime event, she continues her job as a consultant to the New Orleans Police Department, but when another victim dies in the same shocking way - raising fears that a serial killer is at large - Cat blacks out over the victim's mutilated corpse.

Suspended from the FBI task force, plagued by nightmares, and at odds with her married lover - a homicide detective - Cat finally reaches her breaking point. In a desperate effort to regain control over a life spiraling out of control, Cat retreats to her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi. 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 sight shocks her more than any corpse she has seen in her career. Cat's father was murdered when she was eight years old, but she always believed the crime occurred in the garden outside their home. The bloody footprints suggest otherwise.

Driven by this fragment of her past, Cat attempts a forensic reconstruction of the decades-old crime, even as developments with the New Orleans task force pull her back into the case she left behind.

Greg Isles at his best!

I loved this story and the characters in it. The reader was great too! This is the 10th book by Greg Isles I have read/listened to. I am hooked on his work! Waiting to see the new Book about Penn Cage.

Blood Memory by Greg Iles

This book is fabulous ❣️
I've read some of Greg Iles books and have enjoyed every one, but this one is special. I appreciated that he included some of the characters which are known to his loyal readers as it gave the story gravitas.
This is a difficult subject to think about, talk about, write about, but most especially to get involved with, in order to do something about. Those who do any of the above noted are people who have integrity and strength of character. We need more of this type of individual to step up in this, and many other difficult kinds of situations. However, I agree with Mr. Iles, the people who stand up for those who suffer any kind of abuse, but most especially childhood sexual abuse, cannot hold a candle to those who suffer this abuse. To those who make it through the abuse to live lives as close to normal and make their own healthy path, there can be no doubt that it takes more strength and intestinal fortitude than can ever be imagined by those who have helped them make it through.
I have been a bystander that had the immense pleasure of watching one such woman do just that and break the cycle of historical abuse. She was a joy to my life and though she lived a long life, I miss her daily and I wish I could have had more time with her.
