Genealogy-Related Books
- Finished reading The Dead Key, by D. M. Pulley. This isn’t really a genealogical mystery, but the book is constructed like many of the popular genealogical mysteries with two linked storylines in two different time periods. Genealogists may enjoy it (I give it 4 out of 5 stars). This book won the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award for 2014.
