There is nothing better than a murder mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the very end, and Match does exactly that. I loved the way Peele accurately captured the complexity and beauty of paired-exchange transplantation while keeping the reader thoroughly entertained.
Carolyn Light, MPA, Executive Director of Transplant, UCSF
It is so refreshing and entertaining to read a mystery that accurately portrays kidney transplantation and the nuances of the paired-exchange process. A great read!
Garet Hil, founder of the National Kidney Registry
When I first read Cut, I was hooked. Now, with her second book in this series, Match, I have renewed my Amy S. Peele fan club membership! Match will take you on a wild ride of friendship thrust into the world of donor transplants, politics, murder, and survival!
Jane Ubell-Meyer, founder of Bedside Reading
In Match we are plunged back into the unshakable friendship of the characters we met in Cut. Peele offers a story that is straight from the heart and still manages to inform us about the world of organ transplantation. A warm and wonderful read.
