Fantastic Read! I read this book to prepare for A Darkness More Than Night, Harry Bosch#7/Terry McCaleb#2 as I continue my journey through the Bosch series. Bloodwork introduces McCaleb thus leading into book #2, A Darkness More Than Night, where Bosch & McCaleb work a case together. I am so glad I didn't skip this book! It is suspense at it's best! Absolutely A Page Burner!

This one is the introduction to Terry McCaleb, a retired FBI agent who recently had a heart transplant and gets talked into finding the murderer of the woman who donated his new heart. Connelly’s various MCs all bleed into each other’s work as part of the same universe. I knew Terry makes an appearance in the next Bosch book, and this storyline was referenced in Bosch #6 when Harry sees a poster for the movie of this book. Did you follow all that? 🤣 So I was excited to try this one before readin
