My review -
Jefferson
Tayte is summoned home to DC because the FBI want his help. Someone well up in
genealogy and its research methods is killing people in a manner to echo the
death of one of their ancestors. Tayte is involved because they are all related
to past clients of his. The killer is leaving clues – it’s a sick game and if
Tayte doesn’t play it, they die. If he’s clever, he might get there before the
deadline and save the victim.
Because
of the structure of the story – the fact that there are several families and
puzzles to sort out from Tayte’s old files, the story builds in excitement.
Will he solve it? Imagine failing to solve a puzzle in time to save a person’s
life. You’d feel terrible about yourself. At least he’s happy that Jean is safe
in England. Tayte has more than a suspicion he knows who’s behind it but the
FBI think differently. This story touches on JT’s personal life and previous
contacts more than any other and I found it exciting and terrifying in equal
measure. It’s a dead sure winner and I enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks
to Netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book.
