Blood Work :: essays research papers

The fictional novel I decided to read was called Blood Work written by Michael Connelly. The book is pretty a great deal about(predicate) a FBI agent, retired because of his recent heart transplant surgery, he is living a retired life on his boat by himself when a girl named Graciela Rivers shows up. She tells the principal(prenominal) character, Terry Mcaleb that his new heart is from her recently murdered sister, Gloria Torres and asks Terry to come out of retirement to find out who murdered her sister.I really like this book because it had a very interesting story line with many twists and turns along the mien. The story follows Terry in his search for Glorias murderer. Along the way he gets many leads such as 2 previous unsolved cases of people murdered in cold blood for no apparent reason. passim the book almost all of the leads that were talked about turned out to be useless I found this to be a waste of space. But later the bulk of the book is done Terry makes the conn ection between the other murders that all of the victims had a rare blood display case, the same rare blood type which made it so difficult for him to find a heart for his surgery. After this point the books story starts to pick up again and it all comes together when he finds out that all 3 of the murders were committed by one of the serial cause of deaths he never caught as an FBI agent known as the formula killer. The code killer killed all of these people specifically so that their organs would be put up for donation and Terry would get a new heart, the killer wanted him to live because of him. The book comes to a really good ending where all of the loose ends are tied up.What I did not like about this book was all of the wasted space and time. The book itself had a really good story but could have been told much better. I found that later the problem was stated at the start of the book it all just turned into Terry going after the same useless leads oer and over again. The author could have left all of that out of the book and it would have been much more exciting instead of getting the feeling of dragging on until near the end when it picks up again.
