Steve Robinson’s genealogical crime mysteries

20 08 2013

I’ve just finished reading ‘In the Blood’ by Steve Robinson on my Kindle. It’s about an American genealogist, Jefferson Tayte, who travels to England for research and gets embroiled in a present day mystery. I really enjoyed it so thought I’d check out the other books Robinson has written in the ‘Jefferson Tayte’ series and discovered they are currently on offer for a limited period in the Kindle store. You can get all three for just 79p each! Bargain!

If you enjoy crime mysteries and are a family history buff then I think you’ll enjoy how the author weaves the researching and the history into the present day events. I found the first book difficult to put down; I started the second book yesterday evening and already want to know where the story is going to lead! I’m not a huge fan of crime novels normally but the addition of the genealogy theme really interested me and it definitely adds another dimension to the story. So, if you enjoy reading and researching your family history then I can definitely recommend these books.
