Summary: Can't Get Enough of Connelly!
Review: Blood Work, being my 3rd Michael Connelly novel was another winner. I couldn't stop reading this one and finished it in a day and a half. This book was about a series of gun shot murders over the last couple years that led the detectives to feel that the killer was probably someone trying to harvest their organs. Well, maybe the detectives are wrong, read it and find out? My collection of Michael Connelly novels' are growing.

Summary: One too many cliches
Review: Michael Connolly, where have you gone wrong? I shelled out[this kind of money] for this book and had to shelve it from something written with intelligence, with style, with something new. The plot is ludicrous and the characters have been cut from cardboard. They just don't jive. They don't breathe. Save yourself the trouble, don't buy it.

Summary: First Time Connolly Reader, Not Disappointed
Review: Very good book with plenty of twists and turns. I liked it a lot. As a Nelson DeMille fan it was hard for me to find another good book to read but I found one here. I liked the character of Terry McCaleb and that he wasn't invincible, that he was very fragile. The book played out like a movie and I pictured a 'Clint Eastwood' cast as Terry McCaleb, it was funny that after reading the book I noticed Clint Eastwood being acknowledged.

Summary: Book serves its purpose: you cannot put it down
Review: This book is one of the best mysteries I have ever read. Just when you think you have figured it out, comes another surpising plot twist. Th facts, woven in tale of intrique, are craftfully put in the book to make the reading all the more powerful. You can't go wrong reading this one.

Summary: My first Connelly book. What fun!
Review: I picked this book up on Friday and almost finished it bySunday night (that's with an all day family reunion on Saturday and laundry all day Sunday). I forced myself to to put it down at midnight Sunday and I can't wait to get back to it tonight to finish. I'm not a literary critic but I can say this has been a great read. The elements of the plot eek out a little at a time...just enough to keep you glued to the page waiting for the next development. I'm looking forward to reading the other Connelly books which I bought at the same time.

Summary: The best work by this wonderful writer!
Review: Michael Connelly is unique. His writing is similar to PatriciaCornwell's, but he's much, much better. When I read THE POET, some years ago, I said to myself: Such an very well-written book! But when I read BLOOD WORK, I found a book that it's so good as the other one. Things are always happening in a kaleidoscopical speed. Things just happen so fast! And the plot is also so cool! In order not to spoil the plot, in a few words, BLOOD WORK tells the story of policeman who's going to retire because of a heart surgeon. In fact, he's in a leave because of his heart problem. But before he is able to do so, a case "calls" him and he finds himself involved in a story that you will love to read. Michael Connelly's favorite books are ANGEL'S FLIGHT and THE LAST COYOTE. I don't have AF, and personally, THE LAST COYOTE is far behind THE POET and BLOOD WORK, my favorite ones. Anyway, I prefer the ones 'without' his famous detective Harry Bosch. If you like detective stories full of twists and action, you won't be disappointed with that one. The whole book is incredible and you never get tired of the reading. Try it and see exactly what I mean. Marco Aurelio
