Just finished reading the book The Lost Empress, the fourth in the series of Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mysteries by British author Steven Robinson.  My love of this series, and the author, started in 2011 when I read the first book in the series, In the Blood.

The main character of the series, Jefferson Tayte, is a professional American genealogist, who always seems to have a genealogical case that involves mystery and mayhem.  Each book is set predominantly in England, but American readers love the series nonetheless.

Robinson writes great stories, that weave the present and the past together to tell a wonderful genealogical tale.  I love his style of writing, his storylines, and trying to solve the mysteries.

If you like a good mystery with a genealogy twist, I highly recommend this series.  There is an underlying storyline that starts in the first book, so you might want to read them in order, although it isn’t necessary at this time (I think the next book will start to unravel that storyline a lot more).

You can purchase all four books on Amazon, in either paperback or Kindle editions.
