Match

Written by Amy S. Peele

Narrated by Amy Deuchler

What do politics, living donor kidney transplants, and the current opioid crisis all have in common?
Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen, best friends since nursing school, could never have imagined that they’d end up as amateur sleuths searching to find a killer—for the second time! Jackie, a stay-at-home mom with marriage troubles, is racing the clock to get her young son, Wyatt, a living kidney donor to avoid the ravages of dialysis. Sarah, who has been living her career in the fast-paced world of organ transplantation, is helping expedite Wyatt’s kidney transplant. Then a much-despised hospital colleague turns up dead of an opiate overdose—despite the fact that she’d never used drugs and Sarah smells foul play. Her curiosity and tenacity pull Jackie, once again, into a life-and-death adventure that neither woman could have expected.
Armed with smarts, tenacity, big hearts, and their raucous senses of humor, the pair gets the help of a few colorful friends to pursue the killer and take on the mission in the only style they both know how: straight on and arm-in-arm as the friends they’ve always been.

Amy S. Peele is the award-winning best-selling author of Cut and Match, medical mysteries with a mission and a side of humor. Originally from Chicago, she went to nursing school, fell in love with the field of transplant at University of Chicago, and then moved to San Francisco in 1985 to follow her transplant career. After thirty-five years she retired from her role as Director of Clinical Operations at UCSF, overseeing 600 solid organ transplants annually, in 2014. She studied improv at Second City Players to add levity to her intense day job. Transplantation and organ and tissue donation are in her DNA and always make their way into her mysteries. Amy loves to speak, swim, teach chair yoga, mediate, and kill the people she didn’t like from work in her mysteries and use their organs—why waste the kill?
