Summary

From acclaimed British author Nathan Dylan Goodwin comes this exciting new genealogical crime mystery, featuring the redoubtable forensic genealogist, Morton Farrier.

When Morton is called upon by Ray Mercer to investigate the 1911 disappearance of his great aunt, a housemaid working in a large Edwardian country house, he has no idea of the perilous journey into the past that he is about to make. Morton must use his not inconsiderable genealogical skills to solve the mystery of Mary Mercer’s disappearance, in the face of the dangers posed by those others who are determined to end his investigation at any cost.

This is the second book in the Morton Farrier genealogical crime mystery series, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

Better than the first

I really enjoyed this second in the series. As someone who used to live near where Downton Abbey was filmed, I enjoyed particularly the Priory scenes. The main character was better too, although his girlfriend is surely going to get fed up of his job being more dangerous than hers.

Great storyline

Yet again another great story. weaving mystery cleverly between several periods in time and although we worked out soon enough what had happened he kept you reading right to the end just to close out the loose ends. brilliant.
