About this audiobook

This program is read by Danny Pino, best known for his roles on Cold Case and Law & Order: SVU.

Blood in The Cut brims with dangerous energy in the face of existential entropy. A fantastic story.”

—S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed

Iggy Guerra is out of prison, but his homecoming is anything but smooth. His beloved mother is gone, his grief-stricken father Armando is deep in debt, and they are about to lose the butcher shop that has been in their family for generations.

Iggy must earn his father’s lost trust in order to save La Carnicería Guerra from the threats imposed by a new rival business, a vigilante activist, and big-game hunter Orin, who has dragged Armando into his dangerous money-making schemes deep in the Everglades, where more than secrets are buried. Iggy will wrestle with the beauty and the danger of the place he calls home as he tries to save his family—without losing himself forever.

Sharp as a butcher knife gleaming in the Miami sun, Alejandro Nodarse's Blood in the Cut opens onto a deeply personal vision of the streets and swamps of Miami, where the roots are crooked but strong as mangroves.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

Blood in the Cut was the wrong book for me. Or I was the wrong reader for the book. The story is filled with long, detailed scenes from a butcher shop, with specifics about cutting up the animals. Lots of scenes like this. Way too many. I didn’t need more than a short one to get the picture. And I’m a vegetarian, so yuck. Pacing dragged through unnecessary scenes (like the butcher shop), but then sped through or barely skimmed more interesting details. The ending was rushed. I just didn’t connect with the writing. Danny Pino, the audiobook narrator, did a fantastic job immersing me in the story. *I received a free audiobook download from Macmillan Audio.*
