"Blood Memory" by Greg Iles ****

◆  Audiobook
◆  Originally published in 2005
◆  German author

Review:  Greg Iles definitely knows how to tell a multi-layered story very well.  As is often true with his novels, the protagonist becomes a vehicle for the exploration of a human experience via the examination of its psychological, social, and physical perspectives.  Iles has demonstrated the consistent ability to describe the macro and micro of complex issues, in this case incest/sexual abuse.  Set in New Orleans, the protagonist moves from confusion to complicity to clarity in a manner that strikes this reader as realistic and very human.  Nice twists and turns as well, which are de rigeur for a good serial killer mystery.
