I work many, many hours on the computer or digging out records from the County Clerk's office, etc. But, I do read things other than pedigree charts. I have never recommended a book to the list members but I'm going to break tradition. I guarantee that I receive absolutely no compensation from this but it's too good not to share. "In The Blood" is the first book by Steve Robinson of the UK. It would be classified as a genealogical crime mystery. It follows the adventures of Jefferson Tayte, an American genealogist who is tracking a family for a client in the US and he finds that someone went to great lengths to erase the whole family bloodline from recorded history. The story is set in Cornwall, England, past and present and reveals a young Cornish girl, a writing box,and a dark family secret. I love mysteries and I love genealogy and this is a "I don't want to put it down" book. I have corresponded with Mr. Robinson several times after reading the book. He is a charming gentleman who has his own family brick walls to break down and says he is not truly a genealogist but became involved while tracing his own roots. His second book, "To The Grave" will be released on Kindle the first week of June and about 6-8 weeks later in paper book. I just thought some of you might enjoy this book as it combines the best of genealogy with a lot of mystery, twists and turns and I guarantee that you won't figure out the mystery until the very last.
