Against his doctor’s (Angelica Huston) orders, McCaleb looks into the crime. Enlisting his marina neighbor, Buddy Noone (Jeff Daniels), as a chauffeur, McCaleb discovers clues that lead to the serial killer from his last case and a surprising motive.

Dove Review

Unfortunately, viewers must endure a large number of obscenities and strong profanity, particularly from a jealous police detective (Paul Rodriguez) who frequently belittles McCaleb’s work. While gunshots are often fired, the violence is rarely graphic, although a frequently shown videotape of a gunshot to the head seems slightly gory. And a wounded man is held under bloody water until dead. One scene indicates a sexual encounter between Graciella and Terry, which is crudely referenced later. Sadly, the frequent foul language seriously taints “Blood Work.”
